Mint and/or basil, a handful of leaves

Drizzle with olive oil, freshly ground pepper and herbs to finish.

Such an amazing project which results in amazing veg to feed us throughout the week ! It has also introduced us to veg we might otherwise not have tried and love them now. And it's all local and chemical free! Cannot recommend it enough :)
