But what to do with all those fantastic, and already seasoned, vegetables at the bottom of the pot?
Let me first explain something about my blog. I am not a Chef. I am a Mama. I have x amount of money, food, and time to feed my family. Everything needs to have more than one purpose.
That being said, I turned the vegetables into Buraczki Tarte, or Rubbed Beets. This is perfect to top Polish Meatballs, Kotlety Schabowe, or a myriad of other Polish meat dishes, in place of gravy, ketchup, or other toppings the typical American diet would include (not that there's anything wrong with that, I eat that way as well). It's healthier, packed full of nutrients, and delicious.
I scooped out all the vegetables with a slotted spoon into a sieve above a bowl to strain out the maximum amount of soup broth, being sure to take out the bay leaves from the vegetables.
The vegetables were put into a food processor and I pulsed the buttons until it was the desired texture.
In a (gasp) reused jar which I had sanitized, I put the Buraczki Tarte, tightened the lid, and placed it in my refrigerator. I got 3 large jars worth, which saved me about $10-14 total. I hope this inspires you to cook with more than one purpose in mind, saving you time and money, and feeding your family with more nutritional homemade food.
Smacznego!
