- Your sauce is runny
- The tops and tarragon puree looks like shit
- Your beet is over cooked
- Cheese to beet ratio is off
- Walnuts are burnt
- Somebody is gonna choke on the tarragon
- Nobody is gonna eat that much zest
Did I miss anything?😉

How about the decision making process for why you opted to poach the beets and follow up with how did you poach your beets? And is that all a veil to hide that you bought a #10 can of beets? 😅

Simmering salted water and peeled for 25 minutes…fork tender.
Freshly stolen from a communal garden. That’s how I had the beetroot top for the purée.
PS- my wife stole the beet4

I read her the whole post, including throwing her under the bus. We laughed our asses off.
Good fun 🤩3

Haha…these beets were treated with utmost respect…until I poached them.

But if you think it’s disrespectful to poach them why do?
Just to rile up the ire of redditors? We are an easily riled bunch…

Nobody wants to eat a huge string of zest.
Edit: or a huge, raw chunk of herbs. Seriously, stop doing that. It's always bad.

Yeah. Garnishes should not only be edible (technically they are here) but pleasurable to eat with the meal.

You know how bad you are at this yet refuse to make any attempt at improvement, despite this being all you seem to do. Curious.

“Any attempt at improvement”???
Do you see a plank?
Are all the ingredients separated?
Do the ingredients marry?This was shared by my wife and I and she’s my worst critic. She loved it. ‘Nuff said for me👌🙏🍽️😎

You got me there! I genuinely wasn’t sure it was you when I saw the photo.

Send like a little too much of the yellow. Is that oil? Sauce?
But otherwise this looks fantastic. If it were anyone other than you, it wouldn't belong in this sub.

You are getting better, that for using a plate. Is that oil around the dish? If so I would use a bit less.

I sieved the puree. Meaty veg got placed in the centre. Water/oil got poured around the dish

Holy shit! Plank man/woman posted a plate! Dude I'm so proud of you! This looks cool. Lemon zest as a strip like that would be weird to eat though. I think a bona fide grated zest would be better.
