Post by: Bonsai on June 22, 2014, 02:24:13 pm: Judy I have some beetroots in the fridge calling me, I know just the recipe to make!
Title: Re: Beetroot or mushroom challenge.
Post by: judydawn on June 22, 2014, 02:30:35 pm: That's good to hear Bonsai. I'd made a list of beetroot recipes from a lot of my books and now I can't put my hands on it.
Title: Re: Beetroot or mushroom challenge.
Post by: Bonsai on June 22, 2014, 03:42:04 pm: That's where Eat Your Books comes in handy

Title: Re: Beetroot or mushroom challenge.
Post by: Cuilidh on June 22, 2014, 08:14:59 pm: Does it have to be an original recipe or can it be an existing recipe (I missed the 'rules' with the earlier challenges)?
Title: Re: Beetroot or mushroom challenge.
Post by: Halex on June 22, 2014, 11:52:22 pm: I love mushrooms, cp doesnt but I will do a mushroom dish this week. :)
Title: Re: Beetroot or mushroom challenge.
Post by: judydawn on June 22, 2014, 11:57:07 pm: It can be any recipe Marina, it's always nice to have new recipes with photos but I'm not getting too strict with this challenge. Bumping an existing recipe is always useful.
Title: Re: Beetroot or mushroom challenge.
Post by: judydawn on June 23, 2014, 12:38:26 am: I've been asked if there is a time frame with this challenge. Let's just play it by ear, if people are still cooking with either or both ingredients I can't see why it can't go on for 1-2 weeks. If you post your intention to join in, we will know when to move on.
Title: Re: Beetroot or mushroom challenge.
Post by: Halex on June 23, 2014, 12:48:39 am: I have a few recioes that I have chosen that I have not made before. 1 st will be thursdays dinner as I dont have a world cup dinner that night :) thursday is also veg delivery day :)

all organized for thursday, roasted cauliflower and mushroom quinoa salad.
Title: Re: Beetroot or mushroom challenge.
Post by: Tasty on June 23, 2014, 05:45:40 am: I'm not sure how this challenge works but I'm enjoying the beetroot, pear and feta salad I made from QFITT. I am trying to make more of an effort to include beetroot in my meals this year. I need to use more mushrooms too especially since they are great for the immune system.
Title: Re: Beetroot or mushroom challenge.
Post by: Cuilidh on June 23, 2014, 07:32:26 am: My favourite beetroot recipe is from In The Mix by Danni Valent, it is her Beetroot, Pomegranate and Pistachio salad – even DH who is wary of “unusual” salads likes this one!
Title: Re:
Post by: kyton on June 23, 2014, 07:39:50 am: Judy that looks delicious and I have all the ingredients at home!
Title: Re: Beetroot or mushroom challenge.
Post by: cookie1 on June 23, 2014, 09:39:41 am: I have quite a few favourite beet root dishes. Tenina's Beetroot salad, Dani V's Beetroot salad, the EDC Beetroot salad. I also make a mean vegie soup that I put Beetroot into. I like Beetroot and Chocolate Cake. However I have decided I am going to try something new. I love Beetroot Dips too. I did see a frittata that may be nice.
Great ingredient/s Judy.
Title: Re: Beetroot or mushroom challenge.
Post by: judydawn on June 23, 2014, 01:15:06 pm: Thanks kyton, I should have thrown my first butter sauce attempt out and tried a fresh batch but I just wanted to taste the ravioli.

It's nice to find something different Cookie, my next beetroot dish will be a forum recipe but no-one seems to have tried it yet ;)
Title: Re: Beetroot or mushroom challenge.
Post by: Cuilidh on June 23, 2014, 09:31:01 pm: Thanks for your recipe, Judy. I've just started using wonton wrappers for a couple of things, but never thought to steam them :-[ :-[, that opens up a whole new world of ideas!
Title: Re: Beetroot or mushroom challenge.
Post by: Halex on June 23, 2014, 10:18:59 pm: Judy looks good, I might try them with another filling, we dont eat beetroot here at home.

Marina, I always steam won tons & dumplings etc :)

I know that this is common, it is now obvious to me that I just needed something to click in that vacuum in my head for me to realise that I could do that too!
Title: Re: Beetroot or mushroom challenge.
Post by: judydawn on June 24, 2014, 01:56:38 am: Made this last night - Chocolate & Beetroot Cream (http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=1703.0) recipe posted way back in 2009 by one of our ex-moderators Thermomixer. No-one seems to have tried it and I've had my eye on it for years :-))

I used the 140g cooked beetroot I had over from my previous recipe here for the challenge so was able to do 1/3 of this recipe just for myself. Because Thermomixer used raw beetroot I just blitzed the cooked beetroot, added the orange juice and heated it until it reached 90^o then followed the recipe from there. It firmed up slightly overnight in the fridge and is delicious.

Post by: goldfish on June 24, 2014, 02:35:07 am: Judy, this is one of the wonderful outcomes of a challenge like this. There are so many gems hidden in the forum - and TMXer's contributions are among some of the best! Thanks for bumping it up!! :-*
Title: Re: Beetroot or mushroom challenge.
Post by: judydawn on June 24, 2014, 02:41:55 am: My pleasure entirely GF, I finally got to taste one of Thermomixers' out of the box creations ;D
Title: Re: Beetroot or mushroom challenge.
Post by: JulieO on June 24, 2014, 04:41:41 am: What an usual recipe Judy. Looks nice though. ;D
Title: Re: Beetroot or mushroom challenge.
Post by: achookwoman on June 24, 2014, 09:53:54 am: Real pest being away and not cooking. Would like to enjoy this ? I have posted 3 recipes for mushrooms over recent years. One is crumbed mushrooms in Parmesan with a garlic mayo. Borrowed from Rodney Dunn. Another that I think that Michele and DH enjoyed. Another Asian method soaked in soy sauce and ginger which we often have at Xmas. I will find them and post.
Title: Re: Beetroot or mushroom challenge.
Post by: gertbysea on June 24, 2014, 10:51:20 am: OMG how have a I missed this? You are way ahead of me. I gotta go shopping and think of something!!

Post by: mab19 on June 25, 2014, 03:26:31 am: I found a recipe for Beetroot Caviar on the internet so will give this a try this afternoon. All the ingredients are on the bench ready to go. :)
Title: Re: Beetroot or mushroom challenge.
Post by: cookie1 on June 25, 2014, 03:50:56 am: Didn't go shopping this morning as usual as I had my last visit to the dentist for my crown. However I called in for some food for the challenge on the way home.
I'm ready to go.

Post by: cookie1 on June 25, 2014, 04:01:29 am: I hope they taste good. I'll probably do them over today, tomorrow and Friday.
Title: Re: Beetroot or mushroom challenge.
Post by: gertbysea on June 25, 2014, 05:27:23 am: Yum Judy. I love that recipe. Cookie this is intriguing.

I could not find any decent mushrooms today but I did get a big beet. Need to find some time to hunt down a recipe.

Love that recipe chookie.

Gert
Title: Re: Beetroot or mushroom challenge.
Post by: Cuilidh on June 25, 2014, 05:40:53 am: Yet another gorgeous sounding recipe, Judy. Definitely going to try a vegan version of this one.
Title: Re: Beetroot or mushroom challenge.
Post by: cookie1 on June 25, 2014, 05:56:51 am: Would you believed I have changed my mind already. :D I have some Beetroot in the AF roasting so I can make a purée. This is fun.
Judy the potato and mushroom looks tasty.
Title: Re: Beetroot or mushroom challenge.
Post by: cookie1 on June 25, 2014, 06:13:28 am: This morning when I grabbed a bunch of Beetroot I grabbed some that were from Hatters, an Australian company. I have just roasted them and wow! I didn't realise they weren't plain ones. Now I have to resist eating them while they are warm. (http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/06/25/amu9ajaq.jpg)
Title: Re: Beetroot or mushroom challenge.
Post by: judydawn on June 25, 2014, 10:36:00 am: They look good Margaret. Can you give a link to the recipe please.
Title: Re: Beetroot or mushroom challenge.
Post by: kmw on June 25, 2014, 11:13:22 am: I just realised I have participated in this challenge :)

Monday night I made chicken, mushroom & bacon parcels from The Road to Loving My Thermomix website and they were very tasty. I'm not a mushroom lover so the surprising thing is that I loved them mushrooms and all.
Title: Re: Beetroot or mushroom challenge.
Post by: mab19 on June 25, 2014, 11:14:50 am: Ooops Judy, sorry about that :-[

I still haven't worked out how to link things yet but here is where the recipe came from

I never knew there was anything other than a dark beetroot Cookie, do they taste different?
Title: Re: Beetroot or mushroom challenge.
Post by: judydawn on June 25, 2014, 12:35:30 pm: That was a great idea for the challenge Cookie. Thanks for the instructions too. Did you take a photo of your cut loaf?
Title: Re: Beetroot or mushroom challenge.
Post by: cookie1 on June 25, 2014, 12:36:17 pm: Judy you are quick. I was just on tapatalk doing the photos. Here they are.
Title: Re: Beetroot or mushroom challenge.
Post by: judydawn on June 25, 2014, 12:54:34 pm: Sorry Cookie, impatient wasn't I LOL. It looks a nice crispy loaf.

Did DH try the carpaccio? I don't go out to my herb garden after dark either.

Title: Re: Beetroot or mushroom challenge.
Post by: gertbysea on June 25, 2014, 01:13:09 pm: Not mine. I have one lonely 400 gm beet. Won't be able to do anything until Friday I think.

This has got to be one of the best things about this forum . I'd never even attempted making bread or a lot of other things even after getting a TMX.... It's all been due to the generous and spirited encouragement here :)
Title: Re: Beetroot or mushroom challenge.
Post by: gertbysea on June 26, 2014, 09:48:20 pm: OMG CC fantastic food. That soup looks great and the mushroom wellies to die for. I was thinking along those lines but now I can't compete!

Oh dear. Wot to,do?

Title: Re: Beetroot or mushroom challenge.
Post by: judydawn on June 27, 2014, 06:49:46 am: Katie's pancakes were lovely, just call them strawberry flavoured if you have non-beetroot lovers in your house. I'd be surprised if they'd pick a beetroot flavour.
Title: Re: Beetroot or mushroom challenge.

Title: Re: Beetroot or mushroom challenge.
Post by: cookie1 on June 27, 2014, 12:32:50 pm: Pinwheels. What another brilliant idea.
This is the vegie soup I made using a Beetroot as part of the veggies. I used Italian soup mix in it and cooked it in the HMP, but cooked it too long so it became very thick. It still tasted nice though.

I've earmarked some beetroot recipes that I'm keen to try "in the fullness of time" (love that old expression!) but came across this one this morning . . . a beetroot curry. I think I even have all the ingredients except for one or two of the spices.

Post by: judydawn on June 28, 2014, 02:25:13 am: The challenge will go on for another week girls, longer I guess if people want it to. Nice to see so many have joined in, what a great variety of recipes we've added to the forum.

Post by: Itsnotartitsdinner on June 28, 2014, 06:21:47 am: I'm sorry I can't join in. DH has been away for work for over two weeks now. Work is flat out and I'm working full time. Hoping like crazy that we get to go on holidays still. :/

But this is a lovely mushroom meal we enjoyed some time ago. http://itsnotartitsdinner.wordpress.com/tag/prepare-pearl-barley/

The most terrific recipes have emerged from this challenge. Glad it is going for another week - time to get a beetroot recipe done. :D

Post by: judydawn on June 29, 2014, 12:59:02 am: I never like playing for breakfast Gert, in fact I very rarely have - the Adelaide forumfest was the first time I think I have eaten in the dining room and that was because I was there with all you lovely ladies. If I was on my own or with DH, I used to take those little boxes of cereal and LL milk and we'd do our own thing. I prefer having a cooked lunch than a big breakfast.

Post by: jeninwa on June 29, 2014, 04:17:33 am: Last night I made a Tandoori Mushroom and Paneer curry served with some homemade naan bread. It was delicious, everyone enjoyed it. I changed the recipe to suit us. I bought brown mushrooms for this recipe, never used them before.
Thanks for suggesting this challenge, lost my cooking mojo there for awhile thus has helped me lots. Love everyone's recipes.

where did you get your curry bowls from I can't find any, even tried the mustafa centre in Singapore.
Title: Re: Beetroot or mushroom challenge.
Post by: gertbysea on June 29, 2014, 06:03:57 am: Yummo to those dishes.

It is interesting she you start researching mushrooms. We get well and truly ripped off. Portabella mushrooms are just older bigger wiser button mushrooms but sometime $2.00 more a kilo. Just another Crimini or Italian. or whatever they want to call them to charge more.

I wish I had a variety up her as some of the exotic have a far different flavour. I love mushrooms.

Good challenge.

Gert
Title: Re: Beetroot or mushroom challenge.
Post by: Katiej on June 29, 2014, 06:51:45 am: Yum Hally & Jen!

I have 2 root vegetable cakes going in the oven now - made with beetroot, sweet potato & carrot.
If they work I'll post the recipe.

Post by: Cuilidh on June 29, 2014, 08:22:24 am: Has anyone cooked with pine mushrooms? I often see them at the farmer's market but never know what to do with them. They look as though they would be a very 'robust' ~~vegetable~~ fungus, maybe with a very strong taste.

Those bows look great, if I had any room in my kitchen I'd buy some. But no room!

Post by: Katiej on June 29, 2014, 12:01:31 pm: We've tasted the beetroot, sweet potato & carrot cake and my DH has declared it delicious!
He said it's his new favourite cake. I'll post the recipe when I have time.

Yum all!
Title: Re: Beetroot or mushroom challenge.
Post by: Cuilidh on June 29, 2014, 09:35:52 pm: Thanks for the pine mushroom reference, Gert. I might have a chat to the stall holder next time I see them on sale.

Katie, that cake really looks appetising. I will look forward to the recipe.

How I wish I could cook using nuts, my DH has a nut allergy and it's so annoying!
Title: Re: Beetroot or mushroom challenge.

I have no recipe for Michele's pinwheels or the Caramelised onion, beetroot, feta & walnut tart or jeninwa's Tandoori Mushroom & Paneer Curry. If they like to provide the recipe, I can do the links.

I will continue to add any latecomers' recipes to the list.

I have added a freeform vegetable tart using beetroot to the list on Page 1 - it was on my list to do for this challenge but needed to go to the shops first.
