"Passion" of summer

Not ceased to amaze me with some of the vegetables, vegetables or other food, who sometimes uses Jaimie Oliver. The number of varieties that, at least I, I don't see in the markets. Such as the purple carrots or yellow, like tomatoes, of all colors, amazing variety that exists and makes that I account my ignorance in this regard.


This is beside the point because it does not is long told a story about their sugar beets, as he managed to keep them unless they stew for months, in addition, as no different colors. Purple, red, yellow, Orange, I know, many. The dwellings typically use them oranges I have seen them in Galicia, but they gave to the pigs (with forgiveness) and white one to another, although these were similar to the previous, more thin but not enjoy them on the plate.


The fact is that from the program I wanted to eat sugar beets and a couple of weeks ago I bought a bag of those who bring a few cooked. The bag went to the vegetable drawer, he took to expire, but not so as to leave them there to spend the summer, for that reason and bearing in mind that I wanted to try to prepare a cold cream I got into this trouble, because he thought that after move by Blender sessions, apart from not very convinced that what was entirely edible. I tell you.


I have no photos, you could not imagine the result, but all of them are walking home and developing loving beginner in the kitchen.


Ingredients with which I began:


- 3 beautiful beets (these were cooked)


200 ml of cream brick-


1-Some of extra virgin olive oil


Until this time he wasn't sure that I had to add salt, so I put these ingredients in the glass of my chef-turbo and batí. I tried it, and what was not bad but… began the fun, go to add ingredients until it knew something worthy of being part of a meal with guests. The quantities? Nor I measured them, just add a little bit and try, will be ready when the point is that you like.

A cold cream rich, rich flavor, but there was a problem. The cream was as white lumps the cream? The yogurt? One of the two ingredients has not had mixed to horror, the look was less fortunate that you can imagine, because I I it imagined with a purple, not, obviously, but yes one of its multiple shades. I went through a sieve, but even by those, also passed the lumps. That really weren't lumps because by proving they unloaded in the mouth and not noticed and now that I do? Well... lost to the already.


So I started thinking and thought and if so a little solar? And I left that it temper a little while he removed with a rod and the miracle occurred the prills disappeared! But… and if appear again when cooled again? It was just wait.I prepared a sweet and sour vinaigrette with a beet chips and a pickle of these huge, all good chopped, Virgin olive oil and some balsamic vinegar. I was in the fridge until the next day.

Well I can only tell you that the result was splendid, Yes, Yes, splendid, a success which I will repeat it often and I encourage you to try because the contrast of the cool cream with the tripping of the vinaigrette is a luxury for the palate.
