I am an English lady living in France, in Paris, and am pretty obsessed with food and eating well. I love living in France for this. Here I have a market downstairs from my house on Tuesday morning and on Friday morning. On Sunday there is another market a 10 minute walk away. We are spoiled for chioce and it is really exciting. I am not working in any food related world, fashion is my game, but I love eating well, and experiencing new sensations and tasty combinations.beetroot soup, perfect for spring
3 beetroots boiled up if bought raw, and then peeled
2 onions
1 clove of garlic
1 lemon
1 stem of ginger
Chives
1 pint of veg or chicken stock
Nutmag
This is so simple:
Cut up the onions and the garlic
Fry of till tansparent in oil, olive, or nut oil are good.
Pour in the stock.
Cut up the beetroots into chunks pop into the stock.
season at this stage.
Squeeze the lemon into the mix
grate the ginger and add this, a tablespoons measure would be enough
grate a teaspoons worth of nutmeg and add also.
Cut up the chives and add this.
Corriander or parsley or sage would all be good here
too.
Cook this at a simmering heat for 25 minutes.
leave to cool down a bit and then liquidise (I use a hand held blender)
When you serve you can add a little cream, it makes it very pretty.
Eat and enjoy.
I have given this to people who hate beetroot, and the taste is not the same, somehow it is transformed when made into soup.
You can also serve cold, like a gaspachio, and for posh aperitif it looks very chic served in shot glasses.
