I haven't been interested in eating veggies lately so I started looking up recipes to get inspired because eating them raw and plain just wasn't working anymore. I found a delicious looking recipe out of Jamie's Food Revolution cookbook but, it had one unfamiliar ingredient: parsnips.
Feeling a little adventurous we went forward with another food experiment. This one turned out much better than the kumquats! Parsnips are the carrot shaped veggies shown below that are the same colour as the potatoes. They ended up being impressively scrumptious. Yummm.
In this second picture you get a little peak at the beautiful beef (round) roast we had with our veggies. I would be lying if I claimed that I chose the veggies before I noticed the roast recipe. (thank you Jamie!) By the way, this is still local meat that I am eating until my freezer empties of the good stuff and I have to start buying lower quality meats (budget decision).
One part of the recipes that I found interesting was that I wasn't supposed to peel the garlic before cooking it. I thought I could partly follow directions by just cutting off the hard bottom so it would be easier to eat. Wrong! The garlic ended up drying out, and as you can see on the right hand side of this bottom picture it turned brown and nasty. So, when it says do not peal the garlic, do NOT peal the garlic.
