A Crown of Squash
One of my discoveries in Borough Market today was a new kind of squash. Not new as in, never before seen by human eyes (as far as I’m aware), but new to me. I don’t even know what kind of squash it is, but it’s small, round, and the kind of orange that you’d want to pull out of your paintbox and colour your hair with. If anyone thinks they can identify it by that description then please do let me know so I can buy another one…
I figured something so glorious and bright deserved a bit of a royal welcome, so I cut it into rings and placed it on a superfood throne
My brother Ollie was particularly appreciative (see http://blog.olliepalmer.com/my-sister-is-an-amazing-cook). A mixture of warm and spicy coconut flavours baked into the squash added a real depth and surprise of flavour. Together with the splash of colour, the vitamin-packed goodness and the amazing contrast of crunchy, soft and chewy at the same time, this truly is a feast for kings.
