Growing food
I’ve eaten my first crop of rocket. Tomatoes are growing. Radishes have just sprouted. I’ve had flat leaf parsley for a year, all over winter, but it decided to flower as is its way and I chopped it away to make for spring onion amongst others.
And I just ate my first one. Yum.

Use the spring onions and tomatoes for a warm puy lentil salad.
Boil puy lentils in water with bouillion powder.
Fry lightly the various vegetables, include always red onion and anything else you fancy I.e as a suggestion. Chopped fine beans, sugar snap peas peas.
Once lentils cooked, transfer into pan with vegetables. Add tablespoon of olive oil. Add two or three tablespoons of balsamic vinegar. Fry lightly for couple of minutes until hot. Serve sprinkled with cubed feta (or alternatively add feta to pan to also heat)
