And how do you prepare beetroot?

Best regards

Well, we—or rather my wife—often make a soup from it.

We usually boil meat to make broth, wash the beetroot, cut it into strips, and sauté it with onions, carrots, and potatoes. Normally, we also add cabbage and then bring it to a boil. But this is a simplified version for me, as I’m not that much of a fan of vegetables in soups.

I have already tried various preparation methods, but he simply does not like the earthy taste. Apart from tomatoes, he is generally not very interested in much from the garden. Unless, of course, there comes a time when there is a meat plant or sausage bush.

Make a borscht and let it sit for a day. The next day, the earthy taste will be gone. It really works—I normally wouldn’t touch beetroot willingly either.

My harvest from yesterday:

Borscht: my husband doesn’t like it (as someone from East Germany, he knows it well, so I can’t just slip it by him).

Now for the tomato highlight... Variety: Beefsteak Tomato Pineapple. That means the color should be like this.. It comes from our greenhouse. The soil was fertilized in spring with fresh fish remains. By the way, there are still 3..4 similar specimens on the plant

My German Gold looks quite similar – inside it has a marbled texture and tastes great!

Enjoy your meal!
