Default First Beetroot (pic)


Look what my wife found when thining the beetroot (from my blog on http://www.waark.com/)

Can't believe quite how much has grown in a thickly grown row! These were from the real seed company and are the sanguina variety. I also got white beetroot (no stains) but as we'd just eaten the red variety the white tasted bland in comparison, the red being so much sweeter.

I prefer to roast mine - parboil first, warm a ceramic dish with a good glug or two of olive oil in the bottom in a really hot oven, then dump in the beetroot and leave until really caramelised!

My one real complaint beetroot I cannot seem to buy it raw easily anywhere - I hate pickled beetroot but that seems to be all I can ever find! Occasionally I see it on the organic aisle in Tescos but it's a fortune!

gah, pic seems to be missing. Must be my wonderful .htaccess file (apologies) can't fix as at work and no iPhone to log into the server!

Mad-frog - it's all that insane drought we had a few weeks ago where it didn't stop raining must have made it shoot up. I planted it early April and it went from there!
