What’s in season in November?
November in season:
I can’t help but feel that I missed a trick (and a treat) by not including any pumpkin recipes in October! Oh well… Thankfully, November brings with it, its own selection of delicious, seasonal ingredients (and I’m pretty sure that pumpkins are still going strong too for that matter!)
Fruit & Veg in season in November
Dates
Jerusalem Artichoke
Swede
Dates just scream Christmas for me. My Dad is never too far away from a pack of dried dates around this time of the year. As a snack on their own, I don’t really see the attraction, but I do love them accompanied by some rich goats cheese or in a sweet, spiced tagine.
Recipe Idea: with dates in season, there’s no better reason to make a bit of sticky toffee pudding!
Nigella’s Easy Sticky Toffee Pudding
Meat in season in November
Venison
For those who aren’t sure, venison is deer. It has quite a gamey taste that stands up well to other bold flavours and as an added bonus, it’s a very low fat meat so it can be guzzled guilt free! (as long as you avoid all thoughts of Bambi’s mother that is..)
Recipe Idea
There’s a chill in the air, so it seems a good time to make a hearty venison casserole, with a rich red wine sauce. Recipe to follow shortly!
