The Beet Goes On

Beetroot is the Younger's favourite vegetable so we thought we would grow some from seed this year.

We put the seeds in a small tray. We transplanted the seedlings to the plot.

Some time later we had the beetroot coming through the ground!



It is just as well that the Moroccan mint plant survived from last year.



Here's the recipe for the Beetroot Palya the Younger likes:
-One spring onion (we were lucky, we grew some!)
-A couple of beet root
-Small sprig of mint leaves
-A spoonful of coriander power
-A pinch of paprika powder (optional, the Younger doesn't have it)
-Salt to taste
-A spoon of oil.




Heat a small frying pan. Pour in the oil. Slice and fry the spring onion. Dice the beet root and add to the pan. Chop up the mint leaves. Add coriander and salt (and paprika if you want to). Let it fry until the beet root is nearly charred. Tastes yummy, especially if the beet root is fresh!
