New Year . . . New You ?! Here is some inspiration to fill your plate with some of the best seasonal food.
- Beetroot – enjoy roasted or in salad, risotto, pasta or vegan cakes.
- Brussels Sprouts – great in casseroles or even in salads.
- Cauliflower – Bill Clinton recommends “whipped cauliflower as a substitute for mashed potatoes.” Eat it raw or cooked. Perfect in gratin, curries or casseroles.
- Celeriac – a favourite in our house. Great roasted, perfect in soups, delicious in gratins.
- Chicory – simply braised or in creamy gratins. My favourite is just plain in a salad.
- Jerusalem Artichokes – these succulent tubers are perfect in soups but also make tasty side dish sautéed.
