Beetroot with mint and labneh. Simply amazing. Simple ingredients coming together in perfect harmony.
in a stack with portobello mushrooms, with spicy tomato couscous and balsamic beetroot.
I first boiled the beetroot, then quartered and peeled it, drizzled with balsamic vinegar and a sprinkle of sea salt and kept warm wrapped in foil.
The halloumi was sliced in three and marinaded in olive oil, pimenton and pepper while the beetroot was boiling., then fried in the marinade with the mushrooms (sliced in half).
For the couscous, I deseeded and finely chopped two tomatoes and cooked them down in olive oil with garlic, a bit of ginger, dried mediterranean herbs and freshly sliced chilli. Into that I stirred the couscous, added as much boiling water as needed and put on a lid until the couscous was nice and plump.
I should be more adventurous with beetroot varieties but this one always works for me. This is the crop that I hope will grow large enough to be covered with straw to last us through the winter, likewise with the carrots under the fleece next it. Managed 365 beetroot this year in terms of availability
Upbeet! This beets risotto is a cousin of borscht, sweet and sour tasting from beets, vinegar, and sour cream. To make the risotto, cook onions in olive oil until tender and add Arborio or Carnaroli rice. Once the outer layer of the rice becomes translucent, add grated beets and some vinegar. Add broth and stir, repeating the process until the rice becomes tender and creamy. Finish with butter and grated parmesan. Mix some sour cream and prepared horseradish for the topping. Next time I will try this with buckwheat.
The oven-baked cod atop the risotto is simple and delicious. This way of preparing cod has always been my favorite: Filets are baked in butter and drizzled with generous amounts of caraway seeds. Spoon hot butter over the fish (and caraway) regularly and it will turn nicely crispy brown. Served just with bread, this makes for a perfect fast weeknight supper. Yummy!
