Beetroot

borscht?

Boil a few. Separately boil a few carrots. A few potatoes. Peel and dice all. Mix in some frozen peas - you don't have to cook them. I like some diced red onion as well. Dressing is mayonnaise, preferably homemade. Salade Russe.

In the Greek style?

Boiled, peeled and slice, left to marinade for a while (only an hour or so) in EV olive oil and thinly sliced garlic - delicious.

Liquidise it and run yer tractor on 'em.

#22 I add finely chopped chilli to mine too.

Red Flannel Hash?

Bloody hell, who'd have thought you could do so much with a beetroot. Thats for the ideas, I've got enough of the stuff to try them all I reckon.

You can beat an egg but you cant beet a root....
do this:

in a roll/ sandwich/ foccaccia:
spinach
mushroom
tomato
lots of beetroot
tomato sauce
toast it- yummmmm

or add to yoghurt, garlic and corriander and make a dip...

Of course every good Australian hamburger comes with a slice or two of pickled beetroot.

Australian hamburger with the lot

Large bun with sesame seeds
BBQ sauce (can use Ketchup if you insist)
Large homemade meat patty
Fried onions (lots)
Fried egg
Bacon
Slice of canned pineapple (fried)
Large slice of beetroot
sliced tomato
lettuce

Ever tried juicing beetroot with apples?

The idea came from a apple juice stall at Borough market... It was pretty and delicately pink with a distinct beetroot and sweet apple taste.
