Speaking as a vegetarian, thknas for going to the trouble of figuring out this recipe and pulling it off in style! It’s not easy to cook foods you’re not used to cooking, and I’ve had lots of misses in my attempts to find good ways to prepare aubergine.Looks really good, this one. Nice pictures, too!

Does your website have a contact page? I’m having a tough time
locating it but, I’d like to send you an e-mail. I’ve got some
suggestions for your blog you might be interested
in hearing. Either way, great blog and I look forward to seeing it improve over time.

Oh this should taste good. I love to mix my baked sweet potato with vegetable. My Mom and me love to have cubed baked sweet potatoes with blanched carrot, lettuce, cabbage and bean sprout top with hot peanut sauce. Oh that is our best dinner. I have to try this recipe :)
Thanks.

This is a great recipe–so many things I like. I’ve had a hard time coming up with ways to use sumac; it’s a spice I really enjoy. I just found your blog, and I love it. It’s great that you incorporate so much nutrition info! I’m adding you to my feed reader right now.

Hi Sophie,
Thanks for dropping by my blog. I love that photo of the beetroot – I’ve never seen beetroot of different colours before. So very pretty! And this recipe sounds delcious. I am making beetroot risotto this weekend (recipe is from another blogger). I do enjoy sweet potatoes too, so I would like to make this salad, even though it’s spring here.

What a wonderful pairing – beetroot (the king of vegetables) and sumac. It sounds wonderful.

What a great combination, and I agree that feta would be perfect with this. I never thought of using sumac with sweet potatoes before, just brilliant.

Lucy – you’re right, they are real autumn colours! Not that you need worry about that for some time yet…
Nabeela – yep, sumac and beetroot just seemed made for each other!
Maninas – glad you like it :-)
Joanna – if you know a deli or supermarket that sell Seasoned Pioneers spices and spice mixes (the ones in the little resealable foil pouches), they have sumac as part of their range
Kate – I must admit I wasn’t a big beetroot fan until this year (too much pickled beetroot and prepackaged cooked beetroot) but I quite like them now I’ve been able to buy them straight out the field and roast them at home. They aren’t homegrown but come from the organic market garden place that we get most of our veg from.
Nicole – there are some good pictures of crushed sumac and the bush it comes from on this site http://www.uni-graz.at/~katzer/engl/Rhus_cor.html
Pille – no worries, hosting WHB is quite a handful these days, you’ve done a great job on the round-up!
