• Quinoa - Unique and Healthy at Greens

    We couldn't be accused of being 'ordinary' at Greens and our latest dish is certainly testament to that!  Currently on our menu, our 'Warm Roasted Vegetable and Quinoa Salad' is both unique and healthy.

    Comprising quinoa, roasted vegetables, cranberries, apricots, toasted nuts and seeds with a tahini and yoghurt dressing, this unusual recipe is seriously tasty and super-healthy too!

    For those not in the know, quinoa is usually considered to be a wholegrain, but is actually a seed, although it can be prepared like rice or barley.  A staple food in South America for thousands of years, quinoa has the highest protein content of all wholegrains, so it's perfect for vegetarians and vegans.  It also provides all 9 essential amino acids and is both gluten-free and cholesterol-free.

    So, there you are.  Everything we know about quinoa.  Just don't ask us to pronounce it!

  • We're keeping it sweet at Greens

    Our sweet tooth has gotten the better of us today and we have been working our magic in the kitchen to create some very special treats for those joining us for dinner this weekend!

    Handmade chocolates featuring on this evening's menu are chocolate and raspberry, chocolate and toasted almond clusters and chilli and lime chocolates.  Why not enjoy these with coffee?

    And to round off supper, why not try our apple and blackberry warm almond sponge (g/f; d/f) with a blackberry compote, served with either Greek yoghurt or soya ice cream?

    We did take a photo of this to show you, but as you can see..........sorry about that.

  • Coffee, gluten-free Cake and Comfort!

    At this time of year, when the weather can be slightly soggy, exploring the hills around Grasmere can be a wet experience.  Luckily, we have the perfect pick-me-up when you come off the fells!

    Rejuvenate with a steaming hot soya milk latte or cappucino, perfect for our friends with specific dietary requirements.  Pair that with a generous helping of gluten-free lemon and blueberry cake, gluten-free chocolate and orange cake, and vegan carrot cake with tofu cheese icing, and you're good to go!

    And for those who are joining us for dinner, why not try our homemade delicious gluten-free lamb curry which appears to be a popular choice: slow cooked local lamb, flavoured with chillies and ginger and served with basmati rice, chutneys and poppadoms.

    That's got to be worth getting wet for!
