Gorgeous nuggets describes them perfectly

Mmm. At the risk of going o/t, they are WONDERFUL smoked, cooled, peeled and sliced as part of a salad.......

hello,jonajo could you tell us how we smoke beetroot it sounds gourgeous  id like to give it a try im really fond of smoked foods thanks darren

[Jonajo]

I roast beetroot in skins, whole, for about 30 mins in the oven until just going soft. Then peel and slice.

Then heat up a bbq  with  special "smoking wood chips" until the wood chips start to smoke fully. pop in the beetroot and put lid on tightly. Cook about 15 mins with the heat still on gently, then turn heat off and leave to cool. I sometimes add woody herbs, tea leaves and demerera sugar etc to the smoking mixture for added flavour.
