Beetroot

anyone like them? - reputed to be a good blood pressure lowering fruit/vegetable.

came across this the other day and just about to try it:

beetroot plus salt plus boil
2 soft boiled eggs - can be boiled with beet

make a dressing of cider vinegar; english mustard;third teaspoon of sugar, pinch of salt, olive oil and clove of garlic - amounts as you feel and mix it as you want - I whisked mine to break up the mustard.

Pour over cooked beetroot, stir soft boiled eggs [obviously sliced?] through beetroot - I assume beetroot can be sliced ] and lay anchovies overtop and top with fresh chives - sounds divine!

Re: Beetroot

well tried and tested - an interesting way to eat boiled beetroot if you find it boring on its own. going a bit easy on the sauce and anchovies might help - anchovies are notoriously salty - fresh chives added a nice clean flavor - worth a try.

Re: Beetroot

With regard to blood pressure salt is a real no no isn't it? Probably negating any effect the beetroot has to lower it somewhat. Sounds like a nice way to eat beetroot but not too sure it is all that healthy for you if you overdo the salt side of things.

What's wrong with cheese and pickled beetroot sarnies???

Re: Beetroot

Just peeled and gratered raw onto salads, lovely...

Re: Beetroot

Never had them raw Barry I like them sliced between two slices of bread and butter with lashings of salad cream (not mayo)

Re: Beetroot

Simply boiled and mashed with potatoes is nice too. Not sure I would eat all that salt in the original recipe.

Re: Beetroot

Re: Beetroot

Re: Beetroot

Not a fan of beetroot, they remind my of parsnips which I don't like either, they are both sweet tasting.
