We harvested some amazing beets a few days ago from the garden, besides planting more chiles (serrano and thai), german chamomile, and nasturium seeds.One thing I notice about our little corner of yard is that it is literally humming with life. Bees, wasps, butterflies, birds, squirrels....it is palpable. Organic gardens are the pollinators' haven, which they need in a planet that is increasingly toxic for their health.
I decided to try to recreate that recipe from Oaxaca, el Vampiro or Vampire. This is a healthly smoothie made with fresh beets. Verdict. Almost the same as in Mexico, not quite as good. Gladys doesn't like it (but at least she tried it!).
This recipe calls for raw beets, oranges, carrots, sugar (or agave syrup), an apple...all blended up into a very healthful smoothie. It kinda looks like Pepto bismol, doesn't it?
