How to Turn The Veg Languishing In Your Fridge Into A Beautiful Side Dish Or Lunch Today's Raid The Fridge, The Cupboard And Throw It All Together post was inspired by a Georgian staple called pkhali, which I adopted a bit to make it more protein rich. What is pkhali? Pkhali is what Georgians call any cooked vegetable pounded with walnuts, garlic, and spices. It’s pungent and colorful—fuchsia when made with beets, bright green when starring spinach. Aubergine, carrots, squash, beans, and sorrel are also commonly used, but you can use whatever produce you have on hand, even if it’s past its prime - no one will be the wiser since it’s getting mashed up anyway. Beetroot Pkhali With Pomegranates And Sesame Coating - 2 very large beetroots or 5 medium side ones - baked in the oven in tinfoil until tender - 1/4 cup finely chopped coriander leaves -,1 tsp of salt 1 tsp of ground coriander - 1 tsp of paprika - 1/2 tsp of chilli pepper - 4 cloves of minced garlic - 2Tbs of water - 1 Tbs apple cider vinegar -100 gm of ground walnuts (or pounded in a pestle and mortar till they are very fine texture - seeds from 1 pomegranate - sesame seeds for coating 1) Peel the baked beetroot and grate very finely 2) In a separate bowl combine walnuts with all the remaining ingredients except for pomegranates and mix them all through. 3) Add the grated beetroot to the walnut mixture and stir it all till well mixed 4) Leave the mixture in the fridge for a few hours for the flavours to develop, or start shaping into little balls and coating them in sesame seeds straight away. 5) Serve on a plate with pomegranate seeds scattered around #holisticnutritionist# #dynamiceatingpsychology# #recoveryfromchronicfatigue# #seasonalfood# #reducingfoodwaste#
