Many of the veg that were in season in October and November remain in season this month too, so there's still plenty of opportunity to get your hands on carrots, cabbage, kale, cauliflower, leeks and potatoes. Another veg that is still seasonal are Brussel sprouts. No one likes soggy sprouts, but cooked right and combined with other tasty ingredients, there's no need to just keep them just for Christmas Day; make them part of your weekly meals.
Winter mash (serves 2)
Whatever you're cooking, this side dish will compliment it nicely and provide 2 of your 5 A Day.
