Beetroot .. Bolt-hardy

Delicious. How do you eat beetroot? Boiled with butter may be?
We boil them, sliced them and add olive oil and wine vinegar. A hint of garlic if you can stand it. Garlic makes me sick so we add slices of fresh onions.

Fantastic Amy.i like the beet roots when still fairly small like this.....Enjoy!

I like it any way it comes Costa ,I like it hot as a veg.I also like it pickled in Vinegar which is what I'm going to do with this once it's cooled down and cold , I haven't tried it in olive oil and wine vinegar/ onion but like the sound of that ,does it keep in a jar that way for very long or do you have to eat it at once , I came across a recipe this week for Spiced beetroot & orange chutney I might have a go at that ! I like the smaller ones best Paul it's my way to thin them out :o)

Yes, I like the baby ones but bigger ones are ok sliced! We tend to put sugar and vinegar on them!

Sugar ! I've never done that Paul sounds sweet and sour :o)

Julie's mum always did it...and her mum before that.Obviosly a really old tradition. I wonder if it's to preserve it better!

EAT AT ONCE.

They look good,Amy..I have never had beetroot as a veg,only pickled..but I do like it..A lot of well known Supermarkets sell jars of both traditional pickled,or sweet pickled now..I prefer the first one..but the sweet is a very good seller ..

I like it as a vegand pickled, you have a nice crop there;0

Thanks Costa I'll deff. try that ! It might be Paul although Beetroot has a high content of sugar anyway I think it's what you get use to as well ,you remember tastes from your childhood and as you say old traditions often the best :o)
Hot beetroot is nice Sandra I like it , home made is much nicer than supermarket jars but then I have to say that don't I ! LOL .... back me up on that Paul :o)
We like our Beetroot Carole , when I was working I like nothing better than a Beetroot sandwich with lots of pepper and salt you had to be careful eating it as the bread turned red , and your fingers !!

I like it just boiled and cold, with a drizzle of Balsamic Glaze...yum! I brought some home today from our veggie garden at the Castle, and It's ready to eat now....tomorrow for lunch I think! :))

I like pickled beetroot on a cheese sandwich..or a corned beef one :o)

Ooh yes Balsamic glaze Karen I love it , nice Sandra Beetroot goes with them perfectly !

Thanks Marguerite the beetroot has been pickled and the Zuchinni fried with onions and peppers, Yummy !

I've done a similar thing on the BBQ wrapped in tinfoil Marguerite but not with the cheese topper in the oven it sounds very yummy I'll deff. be trying that ..Thanks for that ! No I haven't tried Zuchinna cake it sound interesting If you have the time I'd appreciate the recipe It's nice to try something different :o)

Sounds good HBird and comes with a good recommendation if you like mums recipe ,when you get it will you share it with me please :o))

Thanks Hb , much appreciated ,I'm sure some of these old tried and tested recipes are best :o)
