Micky Booth Home Delivery

Red capsicum were unavailable at the Market on Wednesday and Thursday morning ($160 for an 8kg box if you could find them) so we substituted with green ones.
There has also been a supply issue with Royal Gala apples and Jazz apples (so we substituted with Pink Lady).
I generally try not to substitute items, but sometimes a decision has to be made in the wee small hours of the morning.

Cheers,
Michael

Blueberries are available again, two sizes to choose from: the regular ones, and the JUMBO!

I have also added three croissants from the Noisette Bakery to add a French touch to the Micky Booth offering during the Olympics.

There are three croissants to choose from: Plain, Almond and Chocolate Almond.

Wondering which will be the most popular?

It's tomato sauce making time. These premium quality Roma saucing tomatoes are available in an 18kg box. Perfect for sharing with family and friends. Delivering a couple of boxes today, should have them on our online store for a few more weeks.

One week can make a lot of difference at this time of the year.

The new season summer fruits are starting to roll in:

Apricots, peaches, nectarines, green seedless grapes, cherries and mangoes have all started.

Some items are available as (each) and (per kg), some only by (each) or only by (per kg).

Valencia oranges should start in a couple of weeks, the Navels are still good, but they are right at the end of the season.

Mandarins are also right at the end, a bit hit and miss at the moment.

* If you’d like to order a fruit platter but the online store won’t let you, send me a message and I’ll add it manually.

Have a great week!

Cheers,

Michael

I send this recipe out via email each year, it is my all time favourite soup recipe. I know it is not exactly "soup season" anymore, but one of my customer's has made it twice this "soup season" and has suggested that I post it, so others can have a chance to make it.

Chicken and Pearl Barley Soup recipe:

Ingredients:

2 large onions

1/2 to a whole celery

8 to 10 small to medium chicken legs

A bunch of parsley, salt and pepper to taste

1 cup pearl barley (or a bit more)

Chicken stock

Method:

Saute the two large onions, then add the chopped celery, salt and pepper in a large soup pot.

Lightly pan fry the chicken legs in oil with salt and pepper. Remove chicken from pan, and remove the skin.

Cook the pearl barley in a separate small pot with water for about 20 minutes (or until soft), then strain the pearl barley.

Add the chicken legs, chopped parsley and cooked pearl barley (1 to 1.5 cups) to the large soup pot which contains the sauted onions and celery.

Fill the pot up with water and chicken stock, bring to the boil, and simmer for 90 minutes.

Once cooked, remove the chicken legs and debone, adding the chicken meat back in the pot (also discard the grizzle from bones and give to pets)

* MAKE SURE you REMOVE the long thin chicken bone that runs parallel to the leg (so if you used 10 chicken legs, make sure to count the ten sharp bones)

Add extra parsley, celery and pepper to taste.

Sounds a bit involved, but well worth the trouble

Strawberries were fresh from the market today, after travelling down from Queensland. Too cold to grow strawberries down here at the moment.
