An important ingredient in everything

While peeling the onion and garlic, I started to wonder which of them is more important for the preparation of Christmas dishes. I think they are inseparable and complement each other perfectly. Here I peel the garlic to add to the pickled beets. In Poland, red borscht is one of the basic dishes on the Christmas Eve table. But I pick beetroots all year round. We drink this silage - it's great for anemia.

I like the lighted background. You pose an interesting question. Mostly whenever I use onion I use garlic and often use green pepper too.

NIce shot. I’m usually in too much of a hurry to get cooking to notice all the details of the garlic but, you have captured it here.

Love how you composed this. Yes mirepoix and garlic in most things here to. We just love beets. We usually eat them in salad or as a side dish. But Brussel Sprouts and Broccoli are the usual veggies at the Christmas table.
