This is a bit of a cheat, but Lady Magnon insisted that we ate a 'Compost Fry-up'.
We still tentatively stick to our 'Veggie Wednesdays', and Lady M just couldn't wait for Haddock's to provide all we needed for our traditional Summer Compost Fry-ups. Most of the above had been bought, or was either lingering in the fridge, or the freezer.
This really is one of our favourite summer meals. A simple mix of whatever vegs are available, fried in Olive oil, garlic, and butter, and flavoured at the final minute with lots of ground cumin.
If I remember correctly, this particular Fry-up contained Potatoes, French Beans, Red Pepper, Courgettes, and Broad Beans. Delicious.
If you don't believe me; try it.

Anything with lots of ground cumin is delicious and that does look good.
I certainly will! What an excellent idea.
Am I right in assuming that is your main meal of the day.
Anyone with a veg' patch, and/or with left-over vegs, should try this. It's the combination of butter, garlic, and cummin, which is wonderful.
It's become one of our favourite Summer meals.
Indeed it was. It's very satisfying.
One of the joys of growing your own, I love meals like that. The only thing which could improve your dish would be a few slices of quince thrown into the mix! (I associate your compost heap with wheelbarrow loads of quinces.)
Our Quince tree is not big, but it produces an enormous amount of fruit. I hadn't thought of including it in my fry-up; I shall remember your advice this Autumn.
That looks good. We had our first new potatoes from the garden last night, left overs are going to be fried for lunch today!
I keep looking at my Pots. They haven't flowered yet so I'm reluctant to delve. I'm really looking forward to seeing what's there!
That looks so tasty ..... we had lots of courgettes amongst other veg in the fridge so I made a roasted vegetable orzo pasta concoction. You don’t need much to whip up something delicious do you ? XXXX
No, especially when there's a glut in the garden. I can't wait!
I believe you! It sounds delicious and I will certainly whip up a compost fry up when our summer returns (cold, wet and windy again up here).
I am having a similar fry up as a pizza topping for tea tonight. Cold and wet here.
That looks nice!.It reminds me of what we used to call bubble n squeak when we were kids.Any veg left over from Sunday lunch was fried up again for supper..with HP brown sauce.I enjoyed that more than the Sunday lunch!xx
Horrible here too; one minute sun, the next rain.
I haven't made a pizza for ages. I must do so.
Bubble, squeak, and extras. I can't stand HP sauce!
I use the pizza recipe that you once gave because it is quick and easy although this one is a Morrisons special because it is so good and tasty.
I have to force Paul to dig them early. I like them when they are still young and small!
Ah well. I've just checked my supplies. That's this evening's dinner idea sorted. Thank you.
I think we might try it. I'll let you know what I think. Have a good weekend.
Make sure that everything that needs cooking for longer is cooked before you add it to frying pan. A nice big dollop of butter, and a spoonful of cummin to finish. Lovely.
Good. Weekend looking a bit wet, but we'll still enjoy.
Where did you find the recipe? What weight of potatoes is required? How much cumin should be added? How much butter exactly? Without precise measurements I will be unable to replicate your rustic dish.
It's very simple. A handful of potatoes, a few courgettes, several french beans, just enough red pepper, and some broad beans. The amount of Butter and Cummin depends on what you have in reserve.
Your eating habits can be bizarre Rach
A sardine with a cup of tea
Diverse.
One of my favourites too Cro - I call it Fridge bottom fry up. If I am particularly hungry I beat up a couple of eggs and pour in when the veggies are getting nice and crisp and that makes it into what I call a Fritata.
I've never made a fritata, but I suppose with the addition of a couple of eggs (and maybe not the cumin) it would be perfect.
Experimental; the School of Marinetti.
That sounds delicious. I like that you put butter in there as well as olive oil. You get more flavour. And the cumin is interesting. Sort of thing I make for myself. I will buy some good butter to fry them.
This looks so good. Love the name. We don't have a garden so I just call it leftovers. Your name is better.
Like Weaver's idea of a Fritta. We eat it for breakfast on toast.
Hello local alien!,Nice to meet you and just to say that you dont need good butter to make food taste good.Stork type stuff taste just as good,Happy cooking and best wishes.xx
Rosa,why do you keep interfering in other peoples conversations?...do you have a problem and cant help yourself?.x
It looks delicious! The fried spud does make it extra special. Fridge Surprise is very often on the menu here, too.
Butter has a particularly pleasant taste. I don't know anything about Stork; isn't it margarine?
My breakfasts sound very dull in comparison.
I like the name. I suppose we all have our own names for it.
Debi, I don't know why this random comment of yours is here but one thing you need to know if you are new to blogging, as I suspect you are, is never respond to a troll. We delete and we ignore.
Debi was replying to a silly comment, that I deleted.
Debi seems to be particularly stupid . What a wonderful blog of arseholes with the arsehole leader Cro.
It looks divine!
I shall add it to my repertoire of "fridge bottom" dishes, which include fridge bottom quiche, f b frittata and a risotto.
It reminds me that I used to make something like this regularly to go with pasta....must resurrect that.
(I expect a few bits of bacon would go nicely in it too, as long as it's not a Wednesday!)
