What to do with so much Beetroot?
« on: December 21, 2010, 14:08 »
Hi all,

Ok got absolutely loads of beetroot and it's been hit by the frost.
What recipes do you guys have to use up 50+ beets, some as big as a grapefruit but suprisingly not woody as we've tried some.
Getting fed up of boiled beets now  :lol:

Roasted
Chutney
Soup
(can freeze roasted & soup after cooking)

http://www.allotment-garden.org/recipe/category/vegetable-recipes/beetroot-recipes/

For starters.

Might also be worth doing a forum search (use the advanced option and the cooking storing etc forum only)
I try to take one day at a time, but sometimes several days all attack me at once...

Haven't looked to see if these are on the recipe page, but don't forget beetroot cake / muffins / brownies (main flavour chocolate).  Again, I'd freeze these if not eaten quickly as they will go mouldy owing to the high moisture content.

Borscht, oh and there is borscht and did I mention borscht?
Love the stuff in winter, we make n eat gallons of the stuff, you can do as the rusckies do and add chunks of beef to make heartier.
Boils ya beets, peel and freeze, then when your ready to make your borscht take out what you need.
