Garden to Table #01 Broadbeans / 庭から食卓へ #01 そら豆

The first proper harvest from the garden this year is broad beans. While I was away for a two-week residency in Chemnitz last month, a friend who rents the neighboring plot kindly looked after the garden, so I was able to harvest them.

It’s a small garden, but compared to my 2+ square meters micro balcony, it feels like having infinit space. I was happy to plant lots of broad beans.

Peeling the beans reminded me of helping my mother when I was little. My daughter does it with me.

Once cooked, they turn this bright green! The vibrant summer color lifts my spirits too.

The first harvest became a quiche we enjoyed as a family.

For the second round, I made a simple pasta for lunch. Both times I paired the beans with asparagus for a feast of summer greens — both for the eyes and the palate. I wish I can do it with own Asparagus next year.

While I was away, my friend even turned some of the beans into homemade doubanjiang and shared it with me. It will ferment for six months — I’m looking forward to using it in winter.

From garden to table — next up might be berries or zucchini.

Happy gardening & cooking!


庭からの本格手にな初収穫の第一弾はそら豆です。二週間レジデンシーで留守にしていた間、隣の区画を借りている友人がお世話をしてくれていたので、無事収穫できました。

小さな庭ですが、マイクロバルコニーと比べると無限に土地があるように感じて、そら豆をたくさん植えられてうれしかったです。

そら豆の皮剥きをすると、小さい頃に母のお手伝いをしていたのを思い出します。

茹でるとこの明るい緑!夏の元気な色にこちらも元気をもらいます。

1回目に収穫した分はキッシュにして家族で食べました。

2回目は一人暮らしの最中で、お昼の簡単なパスタに使いました。どちらもアスパラガスと組み合わせて夏の緑色を目でも楽しみました。

私の不在の間、収穫した分は友人が豆板醤にしてお裾分けしてくれました。半年寝かせて、冬に使うのが楽しみです。

そんなこんなのガーデントゥーテーブル。次はベリーかズッキーニになりそうです。

This is art! Truly. Just look that minimalism and how well equilibrium there is between us, humans and nature itself. Just fascinating
