Very interesting! That is certainly different and I needed a cake recipe for something else, so brilliant, thank you very much!

Hi

Apologies if thiis recipe has already been posted; I looked through the thread and couldn't find it.

I can't take credit for this recipe; it was in the Guardian a few years ago.

Beetroot and onion bake
Slice some onions and fry them lightly
slice the beetroot and layer in a dish with the onions.
cover with cream (or elmlea) and bake in the oven for about 40 minutes.

I have just made beetroot chutney, looks and tastes lovely,

The very, very best way to enjoy beetroot is diced in a salad with just onions and a tiny bit of olive oil and vinegar. Divine

Just popped in to offer the idea that a friend used to dice cooked, unpickled beetroot into raspberry jelly. It was actually quite tasty.

I've got a quick question regarding the cake/muffin recipes, the ones on here say to use corn oil, can this be substituted with vegetable or sunflower oil??

My neighbour has given me some beetroot. He gives me some every year, and I've made chutney and pickled it before now. However we still have lots of chutney and pickles left, so is it possible to freeze them? If so would I freeze them before or after boiling?

I cut it into wedges and roast it, just gently clean and cut into wedges put in a bowl and pour on some olive oil, just enough to coat it, add a dash of balsamic vinegar, salt and pepper and roast until soft usually takes about 30 mins.

If I have a lot I open freeze on trays and then bag up it can be put in the oven straight from the freezer and takes about 12 mins.
