Beetroot about Nothing

Read in many places Beetroot was good for you. Of course is good for you, even wall paper paste is good for you. Things dont start their existence being evil in the first place.

So here and there says it is good. If it was truely that good why do we need a write up on it? Because it is actually evil? Or maybe evil does not exist?


I first bought the beetroot then peel off the skin. I couldnt tell if I have hurt myself because the red juice was everywhere. So I washed it and took a photo to so much proof that am not a surgeon.

 Potato and shallots were boiled as well while the beet root was steamed above the boiling water using a sieve.

I used the sieve for the zuchinni as well



Pork was cut into smaller peices so that dont have to encounter uncooked centre part


Marinated or seasoned with soy pepper garlic, shallots and bentong ginger for 4 hours in the fridge.

I also boiled turnip and this was where the chaos happned. The red juice from the beetroot I was steaming dripped into the boiling water making the turnip look orange in colour. It is Mango? Hemi Melon? It still remainds a turnip.



The steamed zuchinnis is friend in a sizzling pan and chopped shallots were added to give a sweeter outcome.

Mushrooms were also cooked in sizzle hot olive oil with ginger and salt till colour changes to light golden.

The marinated pork is also friend with it seasoning

Add a bit of corn flour to give a more sticky gravy from the remnant seasoning.

The moisture of the added shallots and the meat then mad ethe pan more watery, i added some water as well so that I don't have a burnt finish. A lid was used over the pan so that a steaming action happens at the part above the gravy.

In it's logical conclusion, just throw everything together, you get a real mistake.


Should I have lemon?  How about tomatoes? Pepper? more salt? Should I drown it in butter............?

Whatever it was, the beet root left the whole plate red and dripping. Beetroot has an earthly taste, dyes other elements and we still maintain it is good for you thereby justifying it taste like mud.

Beetroot is good for you (repeat 100 times)



 I somehow forgot to take the picture with the potato in it !!! Is that blood on the turnip? Beetroot is better as a food colouring.
