tylikI was seriously not in the mood for my usual baking for brunch after zazen and teisho. But I had a bit more than half a loaf of stale whole wheat bread, and a bunch of chiogga beats.
So, I did the obvious, and roasted the beats. And then soaked the bread in water for a bit, wringing it out when it was soft enough to wring, and breaking it into chunks. Then I peeled and chopped up the beats. To this I added quite a bit of olive oil, artichoke hearts, and capers. And then a bit of dried oregano, more dried basil, and garlic. And then salt, vinegar and allepo peppers to taste.
Pretty darned tasty.
Honestly, I still think some nice green olives with a good bite would have worked even better. But I didn't have any. But this worked well, the tart balancing out the sweet from the beats.
