That looks excellent, I hope you enjoyed it. A couple of questions if you don't mind....

Roasting the beetroot too or just the parsnips? And does the golden beetroot bleed like the red? The faff has put me off growing it. I guess the turkey was from the butcher. I'd like to do that but they're often too big.

It's still cooking. We're not dinning until 1830... Want the turkey to roast and then rest for a good hour and a half etc

Beetroot and parsnips will be roasted in the air fryer

And yes, the beetroot will bleed into the golden if you put them in the same water, that's why they're in separate pans and I've pink hands laugh

They're very easy to grow. In the ground or in troughs etc. They're greedy though and like a good watering

And yes, organic free range turkey from the local butchers at our local farm shop. He gets it in for me as I have to eat a very lean diet, so turkey's spot on for that and much better than chicken

Excellent, thanks. I might have a go at growing some. Yes, I prefer a lower fat diet so I'll see if I can get similar turkey. Thanks

Enjoy your dinner. smile

No worries. My diets due to my body trying to kill me since 2023 and can't have much fat after having my gallbladder out June 2023 and my body's not coped without it since...

Even just a bit of fatty food makes me ill, so I keep away from it as best I can bar essential fats and even then they're in moderation

Looks good!

Tried something different today.

Chicken with moz, wrapped in ham. Tray bake with gnocchi and veg.

I added sundried tomatoes and Ajvar dip after photo.

Quite straight forward actually!

1 onion
0.9 lb / 450g chicken breast , skinless boneless
0.3 cup Chipotles in Adobo Sauce
2/3rd can crushed tomatoes
1.2 garlic cloves , crushed
0.6 tsp EACH dried oregano, cumin powder and onion powder (or garlic powder)
1/2tsp smoked paprika
2tsp chipotle paste
1.2 tsp sugar (any)
0.45 tsp salt
Pepper
1/4 cup water (start will less and add when it's cooking)
Pinch of chicken stock powder

Fry off 1 small onion, brown chicken then add everything else, low simmer for an hour or so. Remove chicken, put in bowl and use 2 spoons to shred. Blend the sauce that remains. I then put 2/3rd of the sauce through the chicken to give it a coating, the rest for dipping, putting on the wrap etc.

Then just warm some wraps and put your toppings on. I went cheese, Pico de gallo and guac

I really dislike hot and cold food together like this (cold guac and Pico). I'm in the habit or wrapping stuff and leaving it in the oven on low for 5 mins to amalgamate, might do that with these next time.

Probably the hardest step in that recipe is the pre-assumption of having a working kitchen hehe

Debatable if it's worth $140, but honestly the best Italian food in Chicago and garlic bread is the best I've ever had by far.




(Edit to add - RPM Italia for anyone visiting in the future)
