Ingredients
- 1 bn small organic beets, (about 4 Or possibly 5 beets) (leave the stems on up to 2 Or possibly 3 inches, but wash well around them)
Directions
- X Assorted leftover Cruciferous veggie stems (optional, I used broccoli And cauliflower stems, Peeled) 1/2 c Rice vinegar (unsweetened) x One day, or possibly a few hrs (optional) 4 Sage leaves 1/2 c White zinfandel or possibly other White wine 2 lg Shallot cloves 4 sm Cloves garlic 1 Tablespoons Canola oil x Salt x Pepper, fresh crushed x Few drops maple syrup 2 Tablespoons Creme fraiche (similar to Lowfat sour cream)
- Thickly slice the beets and simmer in water 30 min till cooked. Include the stems of leftover cruciferous veggies in this simmer. Strain and place in a bowl with 1/2 c rice vinegar and water to cover. Let sit overnight in the refrigerator, or possibly for as long as you can. Use the beet leaves for making a green veggie to eat.
- The next day, or possibly later: Strain the beets from this liquid, place in a food processor with sage leaves (stems removed). Process, adding a little wine or possibly water as needed. (Throw away the vinegar, or possibly save it for the next batch of vinegared beets, in the fridge).
- Slice the shallots and garlic. Saute/fry in a little of the canola oil, with the shallots first, then later add in the garlic (in order to avoid overtoasting the garlic). After about 4 or possibly 5 min, add in the wine. Simmer a minute or possibly two. Add in this mix to the food processor and continue processing. It is nicer if some graininess remains, but a fine graininess.
- Place this mix back in a pan. Add in about 1 or possibly 2 c. of warm water, remaining canola oil, and salt (1/4 tsp) and pepper to taste. Stir and simmer a few min, add in 3 drops maple syrup. Pour into 2 regular or possibly 1 large wide soup bowl, leave room on top. Top with 1 or possibly 2 Tablespoons creme fraiche, and stir in well. Serve warm.
