Beta vulgaris may suggest some useless pharmaceutical product, or even a vulgar beta software update. It actually reminds me of the last album by QOTSA: "Era Vulgaris". Anyway, the truth is that it happens to be something much healthier, with an amazing deep colour, best known as beetroot. In addition to its very unique and moderately sweet flavour, I find it is always an extremely inspiring element to play with. Yesterday Lyn and myself were talking about having a day of "greens", so in that case I thought it should be a colourful one.
Only a few minutes of peeling and chopping before it all got together in the oven for about forty minutes. Easy and clean. Our colour palette was pretty impressive: deep purple, gold, orange and diverse tones of brown.
Dessert was totally unthinkable just a few days ago. It certainly kept the evening's main theme alive until the very last second. I am talking about an exclusive creation coming from the divine masters of chocolate in Syd City.
Yes, it was their brand new beetroot rocky road marshmallow. Unfortunately at this stage it is not available in their creative temple, also know as the shop, on William. But there is an interesting restaurant in Pyrmont where fish seems to fly -not necessarily in a literal sense- and, if lucky, you may be able to taste it.
