Beetroot done this way is divine! Most people I find are so pleasantly surprised when they discover the gorgeous flavour of this dish. I lost count of the number of times I've written the recipe out for friends! It's a real winner! A 440g can of beetroot can be substituted for cooked beetroot - just drain and heat through in the sauce. The fresh beetroot takes a while to cook, but it's worth it! Ingredients:
500 g beetroots |
2 tablespoons brown sugar |
1 tablespoon cornflour |
15 g butter |
2 tablespoons vinegar |
1 cup freshly squeezed orange juice |
1 tablespoon water |
orange rind |
Directions:
1. Cook beetroot in boiling salted water for about 1 hour or until tender.
2. Drain and peel.
3. Slice, or, using a melon baller, make small balls.
4. Heat the sugar, vinegar, strained orange juice and butter in pan.
5. Mix cornflour with water and stir into the orange juice mixture.
6. Stir until mixture boils and thickens.
7. Add beetroot and heat through.
8. Transfer beetroot onto serving dish and pour over the orange sauce.
9. Garnish with some of the orange peel VERY THINLY sliced and arranged on top.
