Title: Beetroot
Post by: ellied on August 09, 2011, 05:36:53 pm

What do you do with beetroot other than pickle it or make chutney?  I love it in wedges baked in the oven but mainly in winter and I've never seen beetroot frozen - any recipes as I picked my first half dozen today along with the first rooster potatoes and a few more onions  :yum:

Failing that, any good recipes for beetroot chutney/relish?

Never tried it myself by what about Borscht? Lots of recipes online.

Beetroot chocolate, risotto and cake sound good - can I have the recipes please?

I will boil and freeze some then - wasn't sure if it froze/defrosted ok as I'd never heard of it or seen it in supermarkets as frozen ;)  Will make some into soup to freeze too as that's my favourite soup :)  Not sure about borscht tho ;)

I just love beetroot and wish I had more too..
