Special thanks to everyone who helped out during two harvest parties last week, and Das Brot for delicious bread made in R’dam.
GZG cooked delicious meals for young and old with leftover harvest from the urban gardens that are managed by GroenGoed.
This collaboration stems back more than five years now and we always really enjoy working together on these events.
More photo’s from the event are on their facebook page.

Mixed Vegetables is an easy way to get your daily palette of colourful seasonal vegetables in one dish. Choose your favourite vegetables and sneak in the ones you don’t like as much. Blend the red (peppers, tomato), orange (carrot, pepper), white (cauliflower, mushrooms) , green (beans, peas, capsicum). Up the protein by adding diced tofu bits.
Buy local and seasonal.It’s also a good way to finish various small quantities of leftover vegetables!
Do you know Borani Kachalu? An Afghan potato dish traditionally served with a delicious garlic-yogurt sauce. One of our volunteers, Sara, made this delicious dish with sweet potatoes during one of our dinners. The sweetness of the potato combined with the acidity of the yogurt sauce is finger-licking good.
Besan Ladoo (or laddu) are Indian sweet bites (produced in Machilipatnam of Krishna district in the Indian state of Andhra Pradesh) traditionally made of besan (gram flour), sugar and cardamoms fried in ghee (clarified butter). Those treats are normally baked ina “kadai” a specific firebowls, but you can substitute it with a good pan or wok.
