Beetroot

[Lozzles]

A kind neighbour popped round with some veg from his allotment the other day. There were some nice beetroot among the carrots and squash. I have never cooked beetroot before, so I had a look online and found a lovely recipe for beetroot Risotto...

Oh I love cooked beetroot, just don't put it anywhere near vinegar! (But it does turn your wee red if you eat a lot)

Oh yes, cold cooked beetroot.

Some sleb chefs are putting it in chocolate cake or ice-cream..... why spoil it?

just boil them till the skins peel of
then slice them eat warm with pepper on them
but love vinegar on them as well

They are nice roasted as well. But I guess it's the wrong season for roasting
