Borscht

This classic Eastern European beetroot soup mirrors the Italian minestrone – what you put in it and why can differ according to season, village and country. Here’s a simple version – tweak with what you have in the box.  Use the spring greens instead of savoy etc.

Spring greens, peppers and tomato

This would make a great healthy supper recipe on its own with a slice of homemade bread, but it is equally good served with simple pasta or pizza dishes. A piece of fish on the side would also be good, but however you serve it, it is as wholesome and healthy as it is delicious… enjoy!  Use spring greens in the place of the kale in this recipe.
