Guest guest Posted April 27, 2010 Report Share Posted April 27, 2010 Thanks, I love the sound of that recipe! I will research carrot tops too.Debbie cd houston I would hesitate to use carrot tops. There are many medicinal and some dangerous plants(such as hemlock) in the carrot family. I would recommend really researching carrot tops before eating them.Calypso both son and husband dx UC >> > I saved beet leaves, carrot green leafy tops (lady at the store said > > she does this), hard asparagus tips and some other stuff to make > > veggie stock.

Guest guest Posted April 28, 2010 Report Share Posted April 28, 2010 Thanks! I'm going to get more beets to try out these new ideas ;-) I'll try that veggie stock today so if it's not good,I can toss it lol. Debbie 41 cd Hi Debbie,Easy trick: peel the beets after they're cooked. You can also boil them and save the water for putting in smoothies or whatever.We like to slice them and put on good olive oil, salt and pepper. I also make a mock goat cheese and beet salad by mashing olive oil and spices (s & P and whatever else looks good!) into farmer cheese and layering it w. beets over baby greens. Nice for guests! Re. the soup: well, it doesn't sound too goo to me but you were going to throw this stuff out anyway, right? So all you really have to lose is the 2 minutes to throw this in a pot w. wahter and turn the stove on. So try it and see how it is a few hours later! Maybe you'll discover a great new recipe for us all to share! Good luck,Ellen12 yo dd scd for 4 years for Crohn'smed-free for 1.5 years > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 28, 2010 Report Share Posted April 28, 2010 If you want veggie stock, add more than beet tops. Then no need to throw it away. Carrots, onions, celery, etc, for a richstock. I always add beet greens to borscht - beat soup - althoughit's good in chicken soup as well, but not as the only vegetable. It adds complexity, but you need more than just that. MaraThanks!
