The drawback to being home alone when you are cooking is that there is no one here to share the guilty pleasure of sampling the brew straight from the pot - while it is still hot...... ;-) Their loss!
We have our Veggies delivered each week by the very nice Nick from
Aussie Farmers Direct. It is often a Mystery Box Challenge to make something special with the contents. Last week I opened the box to see, along with the standard winter veggies, an enormous Beetroot.
Now beetroot and I are Summer friends, I enjoy a slice in a salad sandwich and an Aussie hamburger would not be complete without some. So what do you do with this salad veggie in winter?
Trawl the Internet for a suitable recipe!!
I found this one at
Australian Good Taste and although I didn't have the required quantity of beetroot it was no hassle to adapt. I weighed my beetroot, found it was about 1/4 of what the recipe needed (I did say it was enormous) and then just quartered the rest of the ingredients. I had already boiled it the day before, so jumped the bake in foil bit.
It proved to be very tasty on crackers with some vintage cheddar, and I can see it disappearing quickly once the rest of the family find it.
