And it'd be good to eat beetroot for you, as you need all the strength and energy at the moment:)<BR/><BR/>Lydia - I don't use beetroot raw usually, although there's this fabulous raw beetroot salad recipe in one of Nigella Lawson's books that I've been thinking of making again..<BR/><BR/>Mary - thank you for leaving a comment!<BR/><BR/>Joey - this beetroot pesto looked fantastic stirred into pasta, I agree. And we'll make you an "aspiring member" - eh? <BR/><BR/>Shaun - it's pretty versatile indeed. As a cold dip/spread during summer and as a pasta sauce during colder times - excellent!<BR/><BR/>K - you can search my archives, or follow those links to Alanna's and Bea's beetroot recipes. I'm sure you'll find plenty of inspiration! <BR/><BR/>Dagmar - thank you!<BR/><BR/>Alanna - maybe we could co-share a monthly Groovy Beetroot event? What do you think? :)<BR/><BR/>Lobstersquad - indeed - none:)<BR/><BR/>Ann - we'd definitely consider your membership application:) And I'll try using mint instead (or in addition of?) coriander/cilantro next time!<BR/><BR/>Chris - you'd be welcome! Ricotta & beetroot spread sounds like a great idea, btw..<BR/><BR/>Poonam - welcome! Roasting beetroot yields a very tasty and somewhat sweet flavour that you don't get by boiling. Well worth trying!<BR/><BR/>Kärt - arvan, et nn Lindströmi kotlettidesse (retsept mu eestikeelses kogus) ja peedi-sinihallitusjuustumuffinitesse (retsept nii siinses blogis kui ka eestikeelses kogus) sobiksid marineeritud peedid hästi. Äkki proovid?<BR/><BR/>Jeanne - if it's a 'texture thing', then pesto might indeed convince you. However, if you haven't tried roasted beetroot, then try that - the texture is quite dissimilar to the boiled one. Hope you'll give it a try!Pillehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05817049547134774699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13695947.post-45008660087014440832007-08-09T16:56:00.000+03:002007-08-09T16:56:00.000+03:00Oh dear, I've never been a beetroot fan... but I a...Oh dear, I've never been a beetroot fan... but I am now slowlt warmign to them slow-roasted with butternut in olive oil and rosemary. Part of my dislike, though, is a textural problem, so maybe pesto is the way forward... I am astonished at how vividly the pesto coloured the pasta!

Ma olen mõelnud, et mis sellest teha saaks peale selle et lihtsalt mingi liha juurde süüa aga lihtsalt ei oska seda äädikamaitset kuskile sobitada. Äkki oskad midagi huvitavat soovitada? :)Kärthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09474171791054360007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13695947.post-37176252235356969882007-08-01T18:59:00.000+03:002007-08-01T18:59:00.000+03:00Hi Pille, First time on your blog!

Maybe a certain talented graphic artist you happen to know will cook up something for members (and honorary members and understudies and, Joey, seminar attendees etc). I know, we'll be the Daring Beet Roots. :-)Alanna Kellogghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12869948243694610558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13695947.post-47442176869922519962007-07-31T19:03:00.000+03:002007-07-31T19:03:00.000+03:00It looks truly beautiful!It looks truly beautiful!Dagmarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00305344272806016411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13695947.post-53243025213355608372007-07-31T18:31:00.000+03:002007-07-31T18:31:00.000+03:00*gasp!*I found you via Flickr, and thank goodness,...*gasp!*<BR/><BR/>I found you via Flickr, and thank goodness, some beet inspiration!

I also intend to try this; it seems perfect for a Summer party as it does for Winter when one cannot possibly make another stew or soup.
