November recipe ideas

Published about 1 month ago • 1 min read

November is about making the most of seasonal produce, be it root vegetables or late autumn fruits.

Why not try some roasted Hasselback carrots or butternut squash and chilli soup topped with homemade croutons?

If you have access to persimmons now is a good time to make a batch of persimmon jam. This tasty preserve is perfect for spreading on toast and will keep for several months.

If you haven't already tried baked apples, pear and almond tart or oaty fruit crumble now is a good time while autumn fruits are still in season.

For those who celebrate Thanksgiving, take a look at some meat free dishes to serve as part of your Thanksgiving dinner. This wholesome nut roast is made with lentils and quinoa and is a tasty meat-free alternative for a celebration meal. Or save time on the day with these mini nut roasts. Make them in advance, freeze and then reheat as needed. What could be easier?

​

​Hasselback carrots​

Cut your carrots Hasselback style and roast with honey and rosemary for a colourful vegetable side dish.

​Stuffing balls​

Non-meat eaters don't need to go without stuffing! Make these easy stuffing balls packed with apricots, lemon zest and mushrooms to serve as a side dish with your roast dinner.

​

​Persimmon jam​

This golden preserve is flavoured with orange zest and ginger and can be made using either fuyu or hachiya persimmons.

​

​Butternut squash soup​

This warming soup is seasoned with chilli and is perfect for November days.

​

​Apple galettes

These individual tarts have buttery flaky pastry wrapped around slices of sweet apple and are a perfect autumn or winter dessert.

​

I will have some pre-Christmas recipes for you in the first December newsletter to help you plan ahead and give you some ideas for your Christmas menu.

Until next time.
