Pickled Beets & Friday's Supper

On Friday, here's what's was left of this week's Thursday share:

1 kohlrabi
1 bunch thumbelina carrots
1 bunch beets
2 onions
1 Napa cabbage
2 sweet potatoes

Tenney doesn't care for beets so much so I decided to pickle them using a recipe from the CSA web site. 2 cups apple cider vinegar, 1 cup water, 1/2 cup (maybe a little more) sugar all brought to boil then added teasp each of mustard seed, coriander seed, whole cloves. Simmered while I boiled the beets, peeled and sliced them into a glass canning jar. Poured the vinegar over the beets and refrigerated. Will taste them later today. Now if more beets come in, I can add them to the jar.

For supper, I did a stir-fry of everything above (except the beets) in olive oil with a little soy sauce. Added some leftover pasta and grilled chicken. It was fantastic; sweet from the veggies just the way we like it. We were pleasantly surprised at the kohlrabi which neither of us had ever eaten. Nice and sweet both raw and cooked. We're down to one sweet potato, one onion and a handful of carrots - and its only Saturday!
