Topic: Beetroot

[Mrs Ava]

Didn't really know where to post this, but just wanted to say, thanks to I think Doris Pinks, I am now a convert to raw beetroot.  Never tried it raw before, but grated with raw kohl rabi, carrot and apple makes a delicious coleslaw.  The baby beets I treat almost like a radish and I do believe them sweeter when raw!  If you haven't tried them, give it a whirl.  As they get bigger I shall try roasting them - I have heard this makes the flavour so much stronger.  YUM!  ;D

I can thoroughly recommend them roasted. really yummy. And they made parts of the other veggies go pink too!

I shall have to have a go at raw - never tried it!

I need the recipe for the beetroot salad you get from M&s's cant just seem to get that same taste and i've copied ingredients down and tried to duplicate it.Maybe i'm short of a few Chemicals?

You are more than welcome EJ! ;D
 Try baking them in foil,  with some balsamic, little brown sugar and garlic, then when cooked sprinkle with fresh basil! YUM!! ;D
