Beetroot 3 Ways

Written by Sanaa Mughal

I don’t like beetroot. It’s eerily like blood and though I love vampires in fiction, the whole red-stained fingers and surprises in the bathroom aren’t something I love. Before you turn the page, there is a BUT coming. But, sometimes, I stumble upon recipes and meals that turn things I don’t like into tolerable, maybe tasty things.

So, here are the 3 things you can do with beetroot that look good, taste good and most importantly, remove the scary part of beetroot.

BEETROOT RELISH

Perfect in sandwiches and burgers, this relish needs little prep work and can all be put in one pot to cook. You’ll need finely chopped beetroot, chopped orange flesh, one orange rind, two bay leaves, brown sugar and one onion.

BEETROOT & FETA SALAD

Who would have thought about this combination? Made with a simple lemon, olive oil, garlic, cloves and pepper vinaigrette, mixed with roughly chopped beetroots, feta cheese and parsley.

BEETROOT CRISPS

Listen, healthy crisps are crisps too! Finely sliced beetroot mixed with a sprinkle of olive oil and salt, then baked slowly. Find all these recipes on Yummy digital
