I decided to harvest the beets in our raised bed at Struan Farm this past weekend.
It's almost time to make way for beans and peas (okay, yes, I'm ready for spring and more importantly summer). In NZ this vegetable is called "beetroot" rather than "beet," although to me this seems to state the obvious. Aren't the colors beautiful?
My next decision was about what to do with them.
I found an interesting recipe here for Roasted Beets with Balsamic Glaze. It looked easy but sufficiently different with balsamic vinegar as well as orange zest, something a little more than simple roasted beets. The method used for roasting the beets, between layers of tin foil, worked really well and is something I would do again.
They were really good. The only thing left to be harvested from my winter garden are the leeks, I'll wait a little on those.
