ROOT
ROOT VEGETABLES ARE A DELICIOUS AND VERSATILE PART
OF WINTER MONTHS. THEY LEND
THEMSELVES TO SOUPS AND STEWS
SIDE DISHES IN SALADS.
>> DAVID, YOU. YOU'RE A ROOT GUY
OR A RICH GUY. THE BULLS ARE THE
BEST. ROOT VEGETABLES.
BELINDA AND SUE MORRIS HAVE
GREAT RECIPES TO SHARE FROM
KOWALSKI'S
KOWALSKI'S >>. TODAY
>>. TODAY
>>. TODAY >> WE'RE REALLY GOING TO TALK
ABOUT THE ROOT VEGETABLES. I SEE
A BEAUTIFUL ASSORTMENT OF THEM
RIGHT THERE. SO TELL ME WHY .
THOSE ARE REALLY GOOD
FOR VEGETABLES
FOR VEGETABLES >>. I THINK WE GET SAD ABOUT
SUMMER AND MISSING SOME OF
THAT PRODUCE AND ROOT VEGETABLES
GOT TURNIPS AND RUTABEGA. I'VE
GOT A BUNCH OF THEM
HERE POTATOES, FENNEL. THEY'RE
SO GREAT BECAUSE OF THEIR
VERSATILITY. THEY'RE JUST REALLY
GREAT RAW OR COOKED. SOME GO
BOTH WAYS. AND THEY LAST A LONG
TIMES. YOU COULD BUY THEM AND
THEY CAN BE IN YOUR REFRIGERATOR
ANYWHERE FROM TWO WEEKS TO A
COUPLE OF MONTHS. THAT'S
REMARKABLE. YEAH. LOOK AT
STORAGE. BUT THEY'RE ECONOMICAL
FOR SURE. CELERY ROOT. SOME OF
IT'S FUN. YOU TRY STUFF MAYBE
YOU'VE NEVER TRIED BEFORE.
AND THEN OF COURSE JUST
THE NUTRITION PIECE. I MEAN
THEY'RE DELICIOUS BUT THEN IT
GETS WHEN YOU GET THAT NUTRITION
PIECE IN AND THERE'S SO MUCH
GOOD FROM THEM BECAUSE THESE
LITTLE GUYS ARE SITTING IN THE
GROUND, WHICH IS WHAT WE'RE
EATING THIS BULB OF THE BEET
>>. BUT IT'S GETTING
THE NUTRIENTS OUT OF THE SOIL
AND CONCENTRATING THEM IN
THE BOWL. SO VITAMINS
AND MINERALS AND PHYTO NUTRIENTS
YOU GET SOME REALLY GREAT FIBER
THAT'S ALL GOOD FOR YOUR GUT.
BUT IT'S SORT OF THIS REALLY
CONCENTRATED POLL OF NUTRIENTS
FROM THE SOIL THAT HAPPENS
TO END UP IN THE BULB OF THE
VEGETABLE. OKAY, SO YOU'RE
TO SHOW US TWO WAYS TO EAT
THEM . SO WE HAVE MULTIPLE WAYS.
I MEAN YOU CAN MAKE PROMISES OUT
OF LEMON SAUCES AND ALL OF THAT,
BUT ONE OF THE RECIPES ON YOUR
WEBSITE IS ROMANCE. AND SO
I THINK A LOT OF TIMES FOLKS
THINK, OH, MASHED POTATOES, SO
MUCH CARBOHYDRATE. MAYBE YOU
DON'T WANT THAT . BUT WE MADE
A MIX HERE AND THE RECIPE IS
RUTABEGA CELERY AND POTATO
IN THERE JUST ROASTED AND THEN
MASHED WITH SOME BUTTERMILK
AND CHIVES AND IT'S REALLY
A GREAT SWITCH OUT AND A REALLY
NUTRITIOUS SWITCH FOR JUST
STRAIGHT UP MASHED POTATOES.
AND WITH THESE YOU DON'T NEED
TO USE SOUR CREAMER BUTTER.
THEY'RE GOOD. OH, I LOVE THAT .
I WANT TO TRY THAT FOR SURE.
WHAT A GOOD IDEA. I CAN ALSO
GIVE THAT MY KIDS TO EAT
THAT TOO BECAUSE THEY LOOK
MASHED POTATOES. SO THAT MIGHT
BE REALLY GOOD.
>> YEAH. SO WE'RE GOING TO MAKE
TODAY JUST SIMPLE ROASTED
VERSION OF SUMMERY VEGETABLES
IN THE SAME WAY THAT PARSNIPS
AND RUTABAGA AND TURNIPS
AND JUST PUT THOSE ALL TOGETHER
AND RUTABEGA IS A LITTLE BIT
MORE DENSE. YOU MIGHT WANT
A LITTLE BIT SMALLER CHOP
FOR THAT JUST BECAUSE IT'S GOING
TO TAKE A LITTLE BIT LONGER
TO COOK. AND THEN WE'RE JUST PUT
IN SOME OLIVE OIL ON ITS MIX
AND THAT ALL AROUND. AND THEN
CLINTON AND ON A PARTY LINE
SPRAY
SPRAY
SPRAY >>
SPRAY >> YOU'RE
>> YOU'RE
>> YOU'RE >> GOING TO POP THAT IN THE OVEN
AT ABOUT FOUR HUNDRED AND FIFTY
DEGREES FOR ABOUT 50 MINUTES
AND THINK ABOUT ROOT VEGETABLES.
THEY DO TAKE A LITTLE LONGER
TO COOK
TO COOK
TO COOK >> SO YOU'RE GOING TO PUT
A LITTLE GLAZE ON IT. YEAH. SO
THEN THE GREAT POTENTIAL IS
ABOUT 50 MINUTES IN THE OVEN
THAT WE'RE PUTTING IN A MIXTURE
OF FRESH THYME, PAPRIKA, SALT,
PEPPER, A LITTLE BIT OF ALLSPICE
AND A LITTLE BIT OF TAIANA AND A
LITTLE BIT OF CINNAMON
>> AND AGAIN. WELL , THAT SOUNDS
GREAT. YEAH. THE RECIPES ON THE
WEBSITE. AND THEN WE'VE GOT
SOME LEMON JUICE, FRESH LEMON
JUICE AND I'M JUST GOING TO STAY
THERE AND THEN DRIZZLE IT OVER
THE VEGETABLES HERE . POP IT
IN THE OVEN FOR ABOUT TEN
MINUTES. AND THAT ALLOWS
THE BLAZE TO SORT OF ABSORB INTO
THOSE VEGETABLES. AND THEN
WE END UP WITH THIS REALLY
WONDERFUL, SWEET MIX
OF VEGETABLE THAT WILL KNOCK
YOUR SOCKS OFF. WHAT WE END
UP WITH IS A LOVELY MEAL
OF THOSE ROOT VEGETABLES AND THE
FRESH HERB MAKES IT REALLY KIND
OF A LITTLE BIT OF A BITE
OF SUMMER. AND THEN YOU PARTNER
WITH ANY KIND OF MEAT IF YOU
WANT OR GO STRAIGHT
UP VEGETABLE. BUT I WILL SAY IF
FOLKS DON'T WANT TO DO
>> ALL THE SLICING AND DICING,
WE'VE GOT A ROOT VEGETABLE MIX
IN OUR DELI DEPARTMENT. ALL YOU
HAVE TO DO IS BRING IT HOME
AND EAT IT. SWEET POTATOES.
RUTABEGA.
RUTABEGA.
RUTABEGA. >> YOU KNOW, I HAVE TO SAY
THAT I WILL ACTUALLY PAY MORE
FOR THAT BECAUSE I FEEL LIKE
I'M GOING TO CUT MY FINGER OFF.
I DID
I DID
I DID >>
I DID >> THE RUTABEGA AND CELERY ROOT
AND YOU NEED A REALLY SHARP
KNIFE
KNIFE
KNIFE >>
