Probably not going to break into Baskin Robbin's flavor profile, but still a fun experimental flavor.

2 cups of cream
1 and 1/4 cup sugar
4 egg yolks
2 tsp vanilla
2 cloves
1/2 stick of cinnamon
6 med/small beets roasted, peeled and pureed (about one cup)

place the cream, cloves and cinnamon and 1 cup of sugar in a sauce pan and heat till steaming but not boiling

beat egg yolks with 1/4 cup sugar till pale yellow

Temper eggs and combine eggs with cream mixture, bring to a boil while stirring constantly then take off heat.

Add pureed beets and mix to combine.

Chill in fridge overnight.

Follow directions for your ice cream machine, to make ice cream out of chilled mix.

This has a very strong beet flavor, which I like, it's got a bit of a vegetable texture too, I guess the mix can be strained after combining with the cream to minimize that.

I bought some meaty spare ribs and butterflied them as to decrease the cooking time. It is a well marbled piece or meat, and butterflied (with the bone on) one can grill it relatively quickly as opposed to having to braise it for several hours.
This is the technique



I marinated the beef with salt, pepper, sugar, fish suace, wine, lime, and soy sauce.
I chopped the celeriac or celery root into cubes



and cooked it with two small potatos also cubed, garlic and onion.



When cooked I mashed it.
The beets I wrapped in foil with a garlic clove and two carrots and salt and placed it on a hot grill for an hour.



I steamed the beet greens



and served them with the beets and carrots chopped it into cubes



I grilled the short ribs




till done



Then plated with mashed potato and celeric, beet and green salad and the grilled short rib. that menu and the pool rocked.
