Beet it!

I will be honest I have never eaten much Beetroot only small amounts grated into a salad. But after reading these tasty ideas my tastebuds are a tingling! (NOTE: must add Beetroot to the shopping list)

A memory of Pickled Beetroot is of my mum who would eat it with salads and the running joke was whenever she ate it she would be wearing a white top and as you can imagine Beetroot is a lively veg to eat so her top would always end up with splodges of pink Beet juice all over, no matter how many napkins she tucked in her top! Sorry mum for sharing ;)

I just need to decide which idea I will road test first>

roasted beet salad
Roasted Beet Salad (pictured above). Simply roasted, dotted with savory capers and drizzled with Worcestershire and hot sauces, these fiber-rich veggies are ideal as a light lunch or simple side.

Put a sweet spin on these traditionally savory veggies by making Beet Carrot Cake. Baked with crunchy walnuts, crushed pineapple and, of course, shredded beets and carrots.

Would be great served with.........

Spiced Beet Ice Cream! (is there nothing that can not be made with Beet?)
