Beetroot - fresh - ideas please

Beetroot and chocolate cake 😋

Search for the recipe “Fast 800 Beetroot Brownies” - they’re delicious!

Ideas sound good, thank you. Hadn't thought about sweet ideas. I could make some tomorrow so that I can give some to any guests over the weekend. Or I might have to eat them myself (sigh)!

I love beetroot.

Beetroot goes really well with goats' cheese - in a salad or risotto, maybe.

Cook it and pickle it.

Beetroot jelly, a super savoury with salad, dh loves it plus all things beetroot. I hate anything beetroot.

I sometimes just use as a veg with my main meal - roast in foil with a bit of salt.

Beetroot taboulleh - chopped beetroot, a few lentils, a bit of chopped red onion, add some cumin if you like it and I add coriander, mint, fresh leaf parsley - or just one or two of those depending on what you have. A little ordinary malt vinegar and some sea salt. Delish.

This is really easy.
Bake the beetroot to use it cooked in a bean and feta salad:

If you have a juicer, juice the beetroot with some oranges and a small piece of fresh ginger.

I sometimes just eat as it comes I love beetroot but prefer it without the vinegar.

Beetroot hummus is good.

Also good with cheese in ravioli...

Or roasted with lots of other veg and (say) some rosemary and maybe garlic...

Vinaigrette dressing, feta topping.

Looks like we are in for a bumper crop of beetroot this year, so I am filing away these ideas for later use!

Beetroot and goat’s cheese tart .

Peel, cut into big chunks then roast in olive oil with garlic, red onions and a few sprigs of thyme.
When cooked, make a glaze of a little stock and balsamic vinegar, pour over the veg and cook for a short while on the hob. Delicious with sausage and mash or a vegetarian alternative to sausages.
