|
Beet Paterecipe below is a favorite in Molly’s house, or try this recipe for Roasted Beet Pesto shared by a member!
|
|
3-4 beets
1 C walnuts
2-3 cloves garlic or scapes
half bunch cilantro or parsley
extra virgin olive oil - 1 tbsp if you're modest, but if you've got the good stuff it'll only add to the flavor.
salt and pepper to taste
optional: scoop of yogurt (or even better, fromage blanc!) to make it creamy
PREPARATION
1. rub the beets in a small amount of olive oil, wrap up in foil, and roast them until they're easily poked by a fork, about 40 min. Usually I do about 400 but the beauty of roasting veggies is that you can experiment! You can throw in the garlic if you like it roasted! Maybe just 10-15 min.
2. Lightly toast the walnuts
3. Let the roasted beets cool. Peel them and cut ends, and cut beets into chunks
4. Put everything in a food processor! You can add the olive oil slowly so it helps coat everything. process! Eat with crackers, or honestly just with a spoon while you hover over your food processor.

open 7 days/week during daylight hours. unlimited use. for Full Plate vegetable share members only. no picking in tunnels or big fields. see u-pick details & maps! AT STICK AND STONE FARM elderflower is looking beautiful behind the two high tunnels behind the barn. As usual perennial herbs reliably start us off; things like oregano, garlic chives, thyme, etc. The rest of the gardens are planted, but aren’t ready to pick in yet, we’ll keep you posted :) New! Our several-season transition of the u-pick fields to be all in the fields nestled west of the barn (the Roadside, Perennial and Creekside gardens) is almost complete! Even the playground is making the move to sit beside the Perennial garden. See the map AT THREE SWALLOWS (formerly Youth Farm) & PRESS BAY COURT Plants are going in the ground soon, stay tuned! We appreciate your patience as we do our best to maintain these off-farm gardens, while also attending to the demands of our main crops intended for the share.
