When I picked up my Week 9 CSA basket from
Roots and Shoots Farm I did not expect that my golden beets would turn into pickles.
We have had golden beets before this season. For this half share member, repeats hardly ever happen because of careful planning by owner, Robin Turner. He makes a point of managing the variety from basket to basket.
I was delighted for the second go-around (and said as much to Robin) because I love roasted beets - particularly in a salad. And they might as well be
golden because they sure look good on the plate.
Because they cellar so well, beets are one of the last items used up in our share. First to hit the kitchen counter here is the more delicate produce.
For almost two weeks I had it in my head that I would eventually roast my beets. It didn't happen. Maybe because of the big heat this past week. Instead, the beets were pickled.
Although my bunch only gave me two 500 ml jars of pickled beets, I found my Rødbeder groove.
Rødbeder is a Danish recipe for pickled beets. It's practically a national dish. My mother used to make rødbeder all the time. Sometimes just a few jars and sometimes it was a preserving bonanza.
I happily channeled my mother to make these gorgeous beets.
The entire basket was beautiful. Check it out for yourself. I have also included pictures of some of the dishes we made with our produce. You can see why it's been a challenge to eat out this summer. The fridge is constantly full.

THE PARADE OF FOOD DISHES
|
Wedge Salad I used the Iceberg Lettuce. If you need a blue cheese dressing for the Wedge, I blogged about it here. |
|
Hash browns with a poached egg. I did not realize our potatoes this week were a variety with pink flesh. I found out they are called Adirondack Reds. They do keep their colour and apparently even more so when boiled or roasted. I also used some of the onions and green peppers for this dish. |
|
When I discovered the potatoes had a pink flesh I wanted to make an old-fashioned retro vintage potato salad with hard-boiled eggs and mayonnaise. I did mince in some of the onions. I used other potatoes too as well as green onions and chives. I kind of thought the Adirondack Reds looked like big chunks of canned ham. It actually was delicious. Just had to eat with my eyes closed! ;-) |
|
I eat beans raw or steamed. Pretty plain. I think they deserve that - as does much produce. But this time I was determined to be clever. I decided to bake them with a coating and treat them as party food. They were coated in flour (consider a gluten-free option), egg seasoned with Dijon and salt & pepper, panko and Parmesan seasoned with cayenne. The dip is mayonnaise with chives, dill and Michaelsdolce's sriracha. |
|
Heirloom Tomato Salad. I used one of my tomatoes from my CSA share, tomatoes from my garden and some tomatoes from the Ottawa Farmers' Market. I like this salad because the Parmesan crisps add a bit of crunch. (They are easy to make!) |
|
Bruschetta. I was able to use more of my tomatoes, onion and garlic. I added basil from my garden and broiled a bit of Parmesan on top. |
|
Greek Salad! I used a lot of my tomatoes, a cucumber, and some of the green peppers. Also in there is olives, red onion and feta cheese from Milkhouse Farm and Dairy. Check out Milkhouse on social media. I dare you to not fall in love with their sheep. |
|
Judy Dempsey's Shakshuka recipe featured in the Ottawa Citizen. I used onion, kale, green pepper, garlic from my basket. |
|
The darling son took most of the carrots with him to Algonquin Park for his canoe trip. His paddle buddy took a great shot of their carrot sticks on the scene. |
|
Agurkesalat is another Danish recipe I make often. It is a quick pickle recipe for cucumbers. |
|
I often use my agurkesalat on my open-faced sandwiches. It goes well with pork and beef. And in this case, lamb sausage from Milkhouse Farm and Dairy! |
|
Zucchini Fritters. We used all our zucchinis for this party snack. The usual suspects of flour, egg, salt and pepper. Plus green onions. Next time I'm going to add red pepper for colour. This dish has me wanting a Spiralizer. |
|
Pickled beets. Most people eat their pickled beets so fast that they don't make it into the pantry for winter. Just to be a food safety nut, I did put these through the water bath canning technique to keep my options open. Gift receivers like to know you went the extra mile for their safety too. |
your blog is an inspiration. I have to look into your CSA they appear to have more on offer than mine.

ReplyDeleteGoogle Ads are the most effective way to get your message in front of potential customers.
ReplyDeleteYou can reach people who are actively searching for what you offer,
and they’ll be more likely to act on it because they’re already interested in buying.
Plus, with AdWords, you only pay when someone clicks on your ad.
That means that every click is a qualified lead—and that makes them even more valuable than offline leads.
With PPC ads, businesses of all sizes can compete against larger companies by bidding lower prices for keywords
or phrases relevant to their products or services while still getting maximum exposure online.
Additionally, these ads allow advertisers to target specific audiences based on location and
interests so that their advertisements show up only where they want them to be seen - no matter
how small or big the company may be! This allows smaller businesses with less capital at
their disposal an opportunity compete against bigger brands without having any disadvantages due to budget constraints.
They also have access into Google Analytics which provides detailed information about each campaign's
performance such as number of clicks per day/week/month along with other useful metrics like bounce rate and time spent on site etc.,
allowing marketers optimize campaigns accordingly over time resulting in increased ROI (return-on-investment).
All this combined makes PPC advertising one of the best ways for businesses large and small alike gain maximum exposure online today

ReplyDeleteReceiving golden beets in my Week 9 CSA basket from Frelan Hardware was a pleasant surprise. Despite having them before, their transformation into pickles was unexpected, thanks to Robin Turner's careful variety management. While I initially planned to roast them, the summer heat led me to pickle them instead. It was a nostalgic experience, reminiscent of my mother's Danish recipe for pickled beets, showcasing the versatility and quality of produce from Frelan Hardware.
