I don't usually post about my dinner preparations but I had to show you these beautiful vegetables I got through my CSA. For those of you who don't know, CSA stands for Community Supported Agriculture. I have, essentially, purchased a share in a farm; share is the operative word as I share in the bounty and share in the risk. I pay a fee at the beginning of the season and each week I receive a bag full of fresh fruit and vegetables. I am never dissapointed. Farmer John at Graceland Farm works awfully hard to provide me with lovely organic vegetables all summer long. To find a CSA near you (and other useful food-related information) try FoodRoutes.
Back to the beets: these were so lovely I had to photograph them. I had several smaller dark red ones, a large bright pink one with pink stripes and a lighter pink one with white stripes.
I roasted them (425 degree oven for about an hour) with some potatoes and onions (also from my share), garlic cloves, a drizzle of olive oil and seasoned with salt, pepper and fresh rosemary. I crumbled a little feta cheese on top to serve. They were as good to eat as they were to look at.
Check back tomorrow when I will post the final installment in my window treatment series.
