After

For the red rolls
1. 1-2 beets boiled( I Cooke them in the micro wave)
2. 1 kilo White flour or white spelled flour.
3. 30-40 grams of dry yeast
4. 25 grams of salt
5. 300-350 grams of water( I weight the water on scales!)
6. 50 grams of olive oil.
M.O
You crush the beet with some water to a smooth paste.
In a bowel you put the flour add the yeas and mix, add the salt and mix,
Add the oil and mix, add the beet and mix, then add slowly the water until you have reach a nice,elastic, dough. Don't be afraid to add some more flour if it us to sticky or some water if it to dry!
Knead the dough for about 10 minutes and let the dough to rise covered with a plastic bag or plastic wrap, until doubled it's volume. Then arrange two baking trays covered with baking paper and let the rolls you have created. I cut pieces of 50-100 grams and made from them a simple knot. Apply on them beaten egg, and sprinkle some sesame seeds. I forgot to mention during this time you should turn on the oven to 200 degrees C on a fan mode and put in the ovens bottom a bowl water.
Then put in the oven the rolls and bake to perfection!
The green ones are the same just replies the beet with 200-300 gram spinach.

Directions

*Cook's Note: We use alligator snapping turtles, which are a farm-raised fresh water species available all year long. Turtle meat usually comes in 2 1/2-pound portions.

In a large soup pot over medium to high heat, melt 1/2 stick butter. Add turtle meat and brown. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper. Cook for about 18 to 20 minutes or until liquid is almost dry. Add onions, celery, garlic, and peppers, constantly stirring. Add thyme, oregano, and bay leaves and saute for about 22 minutes**. Add stock, bring to a boil, and simmer for 30 minutes. Skim any fat that comes to the top.

While stock is simmering, make the roux. In a small saucepan, melt remaining butter over medium heat. Slowly add flour, a little at a time, constantly stirring with a wooden spoon. Be careful not to burn. After all of the flour has been added, cook until roux smells nutty, is pale in color, and has a consistency of wet sand, about 3 minutes. Set aside to let cool until soup is ready (roux should be cool when adding to hot soup).

Using a whisk, stir the roux into the stock vigorously, adding a little at a time to prevent lumping. Simmer for about 25 minutes. Stir to prevent sticking on bottom. Add sherry and bring to a boil. Add hot sauce and Worcestershire sauce. Simmer and skim any fat or foam that comes to top. Add lemon juice and tomatoes and return to a simmer. Add spinach and eggs, return to a simmer and adjust seasoning.

**Cook's Note: Caramelizing vegetables and meats very will to get the dark color you are looking for.

***Cook's Note: This is like a stew, eaten as a main dish. This soup freezes well.
