….need to know (food details)

• Number of people served : 3 kids or 2 adults can enjoy this
• Preparation time : 12 minutes

….and we need (ingredients)

• Beetroot stalks 1 handful or 250 gms : Amazing earthly tasting veggie with high level of immunity boosting Vitamin C and with other benefits to bones, liver, kidneys etc. So what are the stalks that i use here. Pluck a beetroot plant off the ground. Most popularly used is the bulbous root, then there are the leaves which are a great alternative to spinach. Finally there are 1/4th to 1/2 inch thick stems which may vary from 4 to 7 inches in length which lie between the root and the leaves. I am using that here. I know we use to throw them away forever long back as we knew. But it is the healthiest and tastiest part of the plant as i have discovered.
• Parsley chopped 3 teaspoons : Bitter and popular garnish. Great antioxidant and helps people with kidney or gall stones.
• Oil 1 teaspoon : Can use a seed oil like canola, sunflower etc.
• Salt a pinch only : good sodium and magnesium provider. Also aids in digestion and dissolution of food particles.

….time to cook ‘n roll (cooking instructions)

• Chop the beetroot stalks in 2 inch sections.
• Heat oil in a non stick pan. Keep on high flame for 2 minutes
• While the oil is almost gone put in the beetroot stalks. Medium the flame at this point and add salt.
• Stir fry for 6 to 7 minutes. Stir constantly to avoid charring.
• Take off flame onto a platter. Garnish with chopped parsley.
• Serve hot always

Storage : Please do not even think about it. Fry only as much as you need.

Missing Something ? : You can replace parsley by coriander. Coriander would have a sweeter milder flavor.
