Last week at La Domestique we cooked in the moment, celebrating a bountiful harvest of beets in my Colorado garden. The earthy sweetness of beets provided tons of inspiration for cooking with flavorful ingredients like curries, ginger, and even chocolate. If you’re sick of the same old roasted beets, I’ve got plenty of ideas!
Just in case you missed anything, here is a recap for you!
- Monday: Announcing beets as the ingredient of the week in our second videocast. Also, congrats to Leslie who won our giveaway contest- a copy of David Lebovitz’s book, The Perfect Scoop.
- Tuesday: 10 Ways Tuesday! Creative ideas for cooking with beets and beet greens during summer.
- Wednesday: Cook in the moment with a recipe for beet lasagna.
- Thursday: The story behind beets: buying, storing, cooking and flavor pairing suggestions.
- Friday: Home-cured salmon using beets, horseradish, salt, sugar, and schnapps- Scandinavian style. Never made gravlax? It’s time to try something new!
I hope you enjoyed beet week and wish you a happy Fourth of July. We are so blessed to live in the freest country in the world. Happy Birthday, America!
