Bramble and apple crumble today, brambles are an unwanted treat courtesy of my neighbour and my poorly knee earlier this year, I prioritised planting and my greenhouse ,
I am reaching them by cutting back , and there are masses.

My own potatoes , beans and a free range pork chop, with a mushroom and mushroom sauce. Followed by a bramble (from my garden) and apple (from a friend’s garden) crumble (made yesterday) with Greek Yoghurt
Followed by a rather nice cider and even nicer Calvados - treat to myself

That pork chop looks perfect.
Cut towards the business end of the loin. Requires careful cooking. Long enough to make delicious the connective tissues and rind. Not too long to dry it out.
Please post a plated version.

It did indeed need careful cooking, there were two very substantive bones in it and that brought the weight up to .4kg (for a pork chop 
:smiling_ ) . In the end I cooked it like a small joint, sadly the rind only partly crackled as I try and avoid salt these days.
The potatoes didn’t roast that well as they were fresh out of the pot , and I left the crumble in the oven for a few minutes too long .
A very substantive meal and very tasty, that left me dozing afterwards .
Probably the biggest meal of the year so far .

Crickey a 4kg chop.
I would have looked at that as a roasting cut.
Definitely in a Dutch oven pot some how with vegetables arranged so the rind was upright.
Set 165 for maybe 3 hours.
That would have been a portion for 1

No .4 kg chop i.e 14 oz in old money, I was punished for the gluttony , I had it quite late and had a very unpleasant night’s sleep

Spicy curried lentil burger with mango chutney.
Once you know the power of plant based burgers you will never go back to the dark side.

I enjoy a lentil burger but if by ‘dark side’ you mean a burger from decent chuck steak then I still enjoy those as well!

I rather enjoy a large grilled field mushroom with a piece of halloumi in it inside a bun

Last bbq of the summer here (probably).
Chilli chicken, some ottolenghi salads and roasted garlic new potatoes. Washed down with a 2015 Corimbo. Yum.

Orecchiette con Cime di Rape - orecchiette with turnip tops (from my allotment). The turnip tops are cooked at the end with pasta and the only flavouring is chopped garlic and chilli flakes cooked in EVOO. No Parmesan allowed

Are Turnip tops similar to Rapini greens ?

They are! These were from my turnips but in Italy I understand that they grow specific varieties just for the tops and don’t eat the turnips. I might hunt some down for next year’s growing
