GORGEOUS GREEN.

Green is the colour of my vegetable patch right now,  the chilli is green at present, eventually will turn to red, and the tomato seems forever green, and you would understand why to keep on reading.
Green tomatoes for homemade bread.
HERB BREAD

Green Cherry Tomatoes
and Mixed Fresh Herbs

This quick mix bread, no yeast but using self-rising flour, is a delight, soft, light but it has a crusty texture for the outside.
 Slice the bread and buttered generously or add extra topping and serve it with tea, herbal tea or coffee
While I was porting around the garden, I saw some green tomatoes that will never turn red as the birds come daily to help themselves for their breakfast.  Good on them, but I would like to have a share of the green tomato too.  Picked some, I have an idea, and put it into reality which is baking herb bread and to enhance I shall add some green tomatoes in the mixture
Noted everything that I need, I got them all.  Confidently I will have the beautiful soft herb bread.  Here it is, Susy Herb Bread with Green Tomato.  Freshly Baked.

Golden and Crusty the Outside

The Preparation

The Preparation to Serve the Herb Bread.
Slice, butter, top with tomato, Flakes Parmesan Cheese, and rockets-the greens from the garden.

Sandwiches served with tea or coffee is enjoyable, and why not this savoury herb bread.  It was good to dress the bread and to share for morning tea. 

A New Recipe

Susy Green Tomato Herb Bread
Two cups self-rising flour and a pinch of salt
3 tablespoon oil
1 tablespoon Parmesan cheese and one egg

The Fresh Herbs: oregano, thyme, mints, chives and rosemary (chopped about 1/3 cup)
Twelve cherry tomatoes, chopped.
(Put in a blender, blend and chop, add 1/2 cup water to make a rough mixture)

To make the dough (it is not a doughy but a soft mixture)
Place the dry ingredients in a large bowl
Make a well in the middle, place the egg, herb tomato mixture, oil and stir it well. To mix, start from the middle and mixing together with the flour quickly.  Add water if you need more.  You must have a very soft dough.
Spoon the soft dough to the lined round cake tin, and bake in a hot oven for 22 minutes.
Leave in the tin for a few minutes after it cooked, and cool on a cooling tray.
Slice and butter to serve.  Add any topping as you wish.

The green herb tomato bread is indeed a delight.

FRESH    SILVERBEET



Another gorgeous green from my vegetable patch is silverbeet the leftover plants from last winter.  I harvested, and I am not sure what I am going to do with.  Silverbeets is similar to spinach, I could cook it the same.
The leaves are not soft, it may be useful to cook it as a wrap.  Meatloaf wrapped in Green Silverbeets. Or ricotta pie wrap in the leaves.


  The self-sewn pumpkin is growing strong, the leaves are giant, and there is some pumpkin appearing in here and there, three small pumpkins so far.

 

One of the fig fruits, hopefully, stays to the harvest, only five fruits on the tree.

Green, Green, and Green, It's Good.

No, green is not dull but to add colour can be more inviting, the tomato was added to dress the herb bread. Colours represent beauty and happiness.

When my girls were small, they loved to draw, and how good it was to see their drawing work, full of bright, colourful pictures.  As parents, we were so pleased and proud to know that they're good kids.  Now they are good parents with happy and contented children.

I could bake bread pudding, add sultana only, but it looks subdued and boring.  Add red and green cherries to be more cheerful, place on a platter garnished with fragrant flower - lemon verbena to be festive, and exciting.

The Bread Pudding - To Dress the Pudding.

Prepared with care, the pudding was enjoyed with friends for morning tea.

As the saying goes:  People Who Love Food Are Happy People.

Soon the Gorgeous  Green in my vegetable garden will be no more, red chillies and purple eggplant will be adding the colour on the place.
Wellcome Colours!
