Eat to the beet!

When you are trying to "eat the rainbow" a superstar should be beetroot!


The dark colour is a dead giveaway that these simple veg are packed with polyphenols for a high anti-oxidant effect!

These beauties, which we picked up in Tesco, have an extra kick of fiery spice - more polyphenols!

The sub was made with firm tofu slices, fried in oil with just some salt, pepper and a little garlic powder. Towards the end I added in some tamari (soy sauce), which encourages some maillard reaction, and added a couple of handfuls of spinach to wilt. A squeeze of lemon juice deepens the flavour.

Yum!
