How to turn beetroot tops into a delectable Japanese side dish
The ohitashi method is such an elegant way to enhance the natural flavours of leafy greens, while also reducing food waste. This traditional Japanese technique involves blanching and chilling leafy greens, then steeping them in a simple seasoned broth that imparts a wonderful and rounded savoury umami flavour. Most recipes for such greens use just the leafy part, but with ohitashi the stems are cooked first. Ohitashi is a wonderful way to prepare vegetables in advance, because the vegetables need to steep in a delicious broth for at least a few hours and up to five days, soaking up the marinade as they age. You can make ohitashi-style vegetables with just about any leafy greens: spinach, kale, chard, radish leaves, turnip tops or nettles. Cooking greens quickly, then blanching them in iced water, is a classic chef's trick that helps maintain their bright colour by halting the cooking process and preserving the chlorophyll. I cool blanched vegetables very quickly using a large tray of very cold water cooled with ice blocks (to save on ice) and prevent a loss of nutrients (and flavour!), which can happen when vegetables are steeped for an extended period. Normally, to make the dashi/broth for ohitashi, a piece of kelp or kombu is infused in cold water for several hours, or brought to a boil then taken off the heat. I've suggested using other seaweed varieties such as wakame, hijiki or even seaweed salad mix, if you have it. And rather than discarding the seaweed, I keep it in the broth, which is why I've reduced the amount used so it isn't overpowering; after all, seaweed is an acquired taste, so if you're not used to it, consider removing it after steeping or using less. Alternatively flavour the water with miso. 2g dried kelp (kombu), or other seaweed (sea spaghetti, wakame, seaweed salad mix), or 1-2 tbsp miso, to taste1-2 tbsp mirin, or rice-wine, white-wine or cider vinegar1-2 tbsp light soy sauce, to taste1 bunch beetroot leaves (about 250g), including the stalks, or other leafy greens (chard, kale, turnip tops), washedToasted sesame seeds, to serve If you have some seaweed, first make a broth by pouring 120ml water into a glass jar or bowl, add the kombu and leave to soak for at least one hour, and ideally for five hours or overnight in the fridge. (If you want to speed up this process, bring the water and seaweed to a boil, then take off the heat and leave to cool). If you don't have seaweed, stir miso to taste into 120ml water. Either way, once infused, add the mirin and light soy sauce to taste, bring to a boil, then turn off the heat. Meanwhile, bring a large pan of water (or steamer) to a boil and have ready a bowl of iced water. Hold the bunch of greens stalk down in the boiling water (or steamer), keeping the leaves out of the water, cook for 60-90 seconds, then gently drop in the leaves, too, and cook for a further 30-60 seconds, until they are vivid and bright green. Lift out into the ice bath to cool, then, once cold, transfer the leaves to a clean towel and dab to soak up any excess water. Keep the greens whole in all their glory or chop them into 5cm pieces for ease of eating. Lay them in a suitable container, cover with the broth, seal and refrigerate for at least a few hours and up to five days. To serve, arrange the greens on a plate, drizzle over a little broth and a sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds.

Typical Brit spends more than two whole days a month in total procrastinating
See the top 20 tasks Brits avoid below KILLING TIME Typical Brit spends more than two whole days a month in total procrastinating Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) THE typical Brit spends more than two whole days-a-month in total procrastinating. Research found they typically avoid 'tedious' tasks 17 times a week - with 32 per cent declining to do certain jobs for several months or more. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 DIY is among the tasks Brits put off Credit: SWNS 2 We also tend to put off booking appointments Credit: Getty Sending back online shopping returns, paying bills, and doing DIY are among the tasks they're most likely to stall on. A third (33 per cent) avoid tasks because they're 'easily distracted', with a further 47 per cent doing so because they're 'boring'. Commissioned by which offers deals on holidays, flights, and hotels, the poll, of 2,000 adults, found 23 per cent have resorted to taking annual leave in order to get on top of all the tasks they've been avoiding. But procrastination isn't always problematic - 39 per cent actively prefer to leave things until late on, with 14 per cent of the opinion they get better results when they do so. Psychologist Emma Kenny, who has teamed-up with the travel operator, believes procrastination can improve patience and also helps people feel more grateful. She said: "Procrastination isn't simply about laziness, it's often a coping mechanism for feeling overwhelmed. 'But while chronic procrastination can increase stress, the 14 per cent who report better results under pressure may actually be leveraging their natural work rhythms. 'The key is distinguishing between productive delay and avoidance that creates genuine problems." Of those who ever procrastinate - which is 89 per cent of adults - the study found 50 per cent do so more with personal tasks and 11 per cent do so more with work-related tasks. However, 30 per cent avoid certain jobs in both walks of life - at work and at home. Other tasks they regularly put off include responding to emails, updating their CV, and even going to sleep. Many also stall on replying to personal messages like texts and WhatsApps, going to the gym or exercising, and backing up devices or updating software. Emma Kenny added: 'Procrastination is a natural, human trait and whilst it can make people feel guilty, it can also give us space to think clearly about choosing the right moment and to process the idea and holiday plans properly. 'When you change the narrative from 'I still haven't done it' to 'I just found an incredible last-minute deal', procrastination becomes a passport to adventure.' It also emerged 83 per cent have procrastination tactics they actively employ - including starting jobs at a 'nice round number' like 3pm or 4pm (27 per cent). More than a fifth (22 per cent) will hold off doing anything until it's 'absolutely essential' a task needs to be completed. And 25 per cent will do something else which doesn't need doing - like intensely researching something which could wait - to avoid sitting down to tackle a task. The research, carried out through OnePoll, found 27 per cent make a mindful and conscious decision to procrastinate so they can enjoy the feeling of anticipation for as long as possible. Zoe Fidler, spokesperson for said: 'It's clear to see that us Brits are a procrasti-nation. 'Some people even prefer it, saying putting things off helps to build excitement, anticipation, and the threat of a deadline getting tasks done faster. 'And when it comes to holidays in particular it's never too late to book one - in fact, one in five of our customers book within just 72 hours of departure.'

Third of Brits would end date over a condiment clash as Aldi releases innovative new sauce
Nearly a third of Brits admit they would end a date over a condiment clash, new research reveals. Exactly 32% made the culinary admission, with only half (54%) believing a relationship can survive differing sauce loyalties The country is fiercely divided over sauce habits, with two-fifths (40%) saying sauce preferences reveal something about a person's personality. According to research from Aldi, the nation is also home to a significant clique of enthusiastic sauce mixologists. Seven in ten enjoy mixing sauces, with ketchup and mayo the go-to pairing for 43%. Three in five (59%) go a step further, admitting to whipping up their own custom blends at home – with almost a quarter (24%) doing so 'regularly'. In light of the research, this summer, Aldi is giving the nation the culinary contraption they never knew they needed: a limited-edition triple-sauce bottle that squeezes ketchup, mayo and mustard at the same time for one perfect, triple-hit mouthful. The three-in-one bottle, named The Mighty Trio, launches as new research reveals just how passionate – and opinionated - Brits are about their condiments. Unsurprisingly, almost three quarters (72%) of Brits would therefore be eager to try Aldi's new invention serving all three sauces at once. But not everyone's mixing it up. A quarter prefer to keep sauces separate. 15% say ketchup on pasta should be outlawed altogether – just one of the many 'sauce crimes' Brits have witnessed. Top culinary offences include drizzling sauce on ice cream (14%), a roast dinner (12%), fruit (11%) and even cereal (10%). But the judgement doesn't stop at what you pair your sauce with. Three in five Brits are dippers, and over two in five (45%) admit to secretly judging how others apply sauce – whether it's the technique, the quantity, or the 'on top' approach rather than dipping. Perhaps this explains why we don't trust others to sauce our food – with 72% saying they feel anxious when someone else does it for them. Almost one in three (32%) have even skipped asking for a sauce at a restaurant to avoid judgement, and 42% of Brits have confessed to packing their own bottles when travelling or dining out. But the ultimate dealbreaker this summer? 84% of Brits would consider walking out of a BBQ with no ketchup. For those prepping the perfect Bank Holiday gathering, Aldi's range of condiments, including Bramwells Tomato Ketchup (89p, 550g), Bramwells Squeezy Real Mayonnaise (95p, 500ml) and Bramwells American Style Mustard (99p, 290g), means no one will be left disappointed. Aldi UK's Julie Ashfield said: 'It's clear Brits love their condiments, with a huge number of sauce mixologists whipping up their own concoctions at home. 'The Mighty Trio is Aldi's answer to the BBQ juggling act, giving you all three classic condiments in one easy squeeze. It's fun, practical and the ultimate hack for anyone who likes their burgers, hot dogs or chips with a little bit of everything!' To enter the competition to win a trio sauce bottle, shoppers should email mightytrio@ with their full name before 28 th August 2025.
