Beetroot ideas please
Beetroot ideas pleaseHi,
Bought a bunch thinking we don't vary our veg selection enough, now not sure what to do with them and whether to peel then cook or the other way around. Ideas would be much appreciated. Thanks.
Re: Beetroot ideas pleaseTwist the stems off then boil in their skins .. they take a while boiling but you can cut the cooking time by cooking in the microwave .. add a little water to a heatproof dish and cover, cook for 8-10 mins...remove skins after cooking.

If you can't be a good example........ you will just have to be a horrible warning Re: Beetroot ideas pleaseMy friend has just given me a jar of beetroot relish that she made it is scrummy, I will ask her for the recipe.....
Re: Beetroot ideas pleaseWe grow a lot of Beetroot, some we boil and pickle in vinegar which last ages. You can also freeze it raw. Wash and cut up into chunks then put into a bag in the freezer. It's great roasted in the oven with potatoes, onion and garlic

sauce with a sunday roast. yumm! When they're boiled the skins sort of rub off with your fingers. "He who is cruel to animals becomes hard also in his dealings with men. We can judge the heart of a man by his treatment of animals."

Re: Beetroot ideas pleaseThank you for those ideas, all. If you ever get the relish recipe I'd be grateful too.
I feel a bit embarrassed that I don't know how to use something so basic and that used to be very common. I only really remember it pickled from jars in a sunday salad.
Re: Beetroot ideas pleaseThanks Kate Egg, I'll give that a go too.
Re: Beetroot ideas please
BEETROOT JAM, Keeps well and taste lovely (if your a beetroot lover) and beetroot is very good for your health system.
Re: Beetroot ideas pleaseI'd never have thought of that, Barbo, and I'm guessing you could use some other veg in the same way. Someone offline also suggested wine, which I'd never have thought of either.
Re: Beetroot ideas pleaseAs I have used up the jar of beetroot relish that my friend gave me I have been on the lookout for something similar and found that Branston of the pickle people make a beetroot pickle so I had to buy and try whilst it is not as good as the home made stuff, for anyone without a glut of beetroot and no friendly relish maker it is a pretty good alternative
