Saturday: Root vegetable and bean stew

This originally was going to be an attempt at garbure, but then we didn't find confit, so it changed... Let's call it a stew of root vegetables, beans, and pork that was inspired by garbure.

The vegetable content was turnip, celery root, potato, and leek [all biokiste]. For flavor, there was garlic, thyme, parsley, bay leaves, salted bacon, and some sausage (bratwurst vaudoise). Oh and chicken stock. And black pepper... don't forget the pepper.

As an accompaniment I made spinach with hazelnuts and sour dried apricots. I toasted the hazelnuts in butter, tossed in the apricots (cut into strips), and then tossed the whole thing with cooked spinach [also biokiste].

what great food this was.

We also had a nice nüssli salad.
