Root vegetables are filler. Peasant food. Cheap. Heavy. Starchy. Sustaining. Absolutely delicious. And oh so plentiful this time of year. We sadly received the last of our boxes from our CSA farm last week. But boy, howdy was it heavy. Three or four types of potatoes, parsnip, carrots, rutabaga, turnips, radishes, sweet potatoes,leeks, squash...All that I love best about fall.
This recipe is sort of a garbage casserole. Really. Anything goes. Particularly if it is starchy. Throw it in. The end result will probably be tastier than you expected.
the recipe is my own serves 6-8
The Ingredients:
3 Tbsp butter
3-4 cloves garlic, minced
2 leeks, whites sliced into 1/2-inch rounds
1 cup apple cider (NOT hard cider)
1 1/2 cups beer
3-4 small russet potatoes,cubed or quartered
2-3 red potatoes, cubed or quartered
1 small sweet potato, cubed
2-3 small turnips, cubed or qaurter4ed
2-3 carrots, cut into 1 inch coins
2-3 parsnips, cut into 1 inch coins
1-2 radishes, quartered
1 tsp fresh thyme, minced
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
The Process:
In a large, heavy bottomed saucepan, melt the butter over medium high heat. Add the garlic and leeks until the garlic is fragrant the leeks are tender, 5-7 minutes. Pour in the cider and beer, deglazing the bottom of the pan.
Add the vegetables and seasonings. Bring the mixture to a boil, reduce heat to low and cover Simmer for 35-40 minutes or until the vegetables are tender and the liquid reduced by about one third.
Serve hot with cheddar and ale biscuits.
