Oh I know what you mean about processed meat – it is just too high on salt and preservatives so not healthy to eat too often. But I guess moderation is the key to everything anyway and I’d be willing to let my son have a taste of it every now and then so he’s not “ignorant” on these things. 🙂
I think you always eat the unhealthy bits of pork (skin, fat) – then it is not healthy. 🙂 But if you eat the lean parts of it, it shouldn’t be too bad. But it depends on your religious affiliation as well.
Wow, so yummy and tasty, you make me hungry now. You have lots of expertise my dear, go, go ,go.I will try to cook this recipe and introduce to my siblings.I am afraid they will hire me cook again and again hehehehehe.
Thanks for the feedback. Oh, I hope they like it when you cook it. If it’s for adults, you might need to season the potatoes with salt 🙂 Or add some grated cheddar for added taste.
I do try to season it with salt. I hope I have time to cook this so that there is something I can share to my friends. Cooking does a lot if fun if the ingredients are complete.
Yeah, I don’t think the grownups would appreciate the food if it’s bland 🙂 I think it’s just that my son has been eating mostly bland foods that’s why he still finds this yummy even without salt in it.
My sister is the one preparing for our foods and what she usually cooks are crispy fried chicken , beef stew and celery salads. the children at home seldom eat vegetables and fish. I told my sister to train her children to eat lots of vegetables mixed with beef.
I guess it depends on the household 🙂 I mean, if the Mom is OK with her kids eating fried food and not-that-much vegetables, then it’s her choice. I think it is not easy to teach kids to eat healthy if they got used to have the access to fried chicken all the time (if that’s what your sister cooks all the time).
Yes, it is a good recipe for kitchen and it is easy to cook for every woman as I think. But my cousin make this curry like as I mention at home but once in a week.
Ingredients
2 tsp vegetable oil
6 fresh beetroots, scrubbed
2 garlic cloves
12 baby carrots
1 tbsp fresh thyme, leaves only
50ml/2fl oz sherry vinegar
salt and freshly ground black pepper
For the potato cakes
2 tbsp vegetable oil
½ onion, finely chopped
200g/7oz plain flour, sifted, plus extra for dusting
1 tsp baking powder
50g/2oz butter, softened
2 free-range eggs
3 tbsp milk
250g/9oz mashed potato
75g/2½oz parmesan, finely grated
salt and freshly ground black pepper
Good quality, fresh beetroots should have their greens intact. The greens should be fresh-looking with no signs of spoilage. The beetroot should be firm, smooth, and a vibrant red-purple, not soft, wrinkled or dull in colour. Fresh beets with the greens attached can be stored for three to four days in the fridge, but beets with the greens removed can be stored in the fridge for two to four weeks. Raw beets do not freeze well since they tend to become soft on thawing. Freezing cooked beetroot is fine as it retains its flavour and texture.
I love muffins. There are all kinds of muffin recipes. It’s such a fun way to eat food! 🙂 This one is extra good because it has beetroot. Thanks for publishing.
For some reason I have kept myself away from ham and bacon. Looking at your recipe I may go for it although we do not get processed ham here.

I always thought pork was bad but reading through pages info on the Net it seems ok to eat it.
