Pickled beetroot

[Swimminginroses]

Now I love fresh beetroot, I want to get some jars of pickled because of the long self life.

The problem is, i loathe cold meat, sandwiches and salads 🤢

So what the heck could I do with them if I bought them?!
All the recipes I can find state sandwiches and salad and cold meat....

Can I just give them a quick rinse and roast them like I would fresh or will that taste awful..?

Eat it straight from the jar. Delicious

No that would be awful. I like pickled beetroot with things like shepherd's pie or beef stew. Give it a try, sounds odd but it's great.

That would taste of hot vinegar.
The pickling liquid soaks right through, it's not just on the outside of whatever is pickled.
You can buy cooked beetroot without vinegar, vacuum sealed.

The vacuum packed unpickled ones have quite a long shelf life.

Maybe you could do some sort of red cabbage and beetroot combination with pickled, as the cabbage needs some vinegar?

Honestly it is delicious with mash!

Oh dear!

Yes, I think I have bought that before, they are quite annoying and messy to open I find but if they have a decent shelf life on them I’ll stock up thank you

Beetroot with blue cheese and walnuts and a little bit of dressing is nice.

I love it as a side with fish and chips.

Mince and tatties. Shepherds pie.

Basically any mince with potatoes has beetroot on the side.

I understand the Aussies and Kiwis put them in burgers. Sounds good.

Yes maybe 🤔
I made a lovely Christmas red cabbage once, think it was Delias recipe.

All you need is a fork! It’s so yummy straight from the jar

They're lovely with Spanish omelette. Or goats cheese with a buttery toasted bagel

Anything like a casserole of some kind with a robust flavour.

I've just had a veggie burger with roast spuds, cooked beetroot with balsamic vinegar (cold) and some Turkish style chopped salad. Delish..

I love picked beetroot. I put it in the below

Cheese sandwiches
Roast dinner
Shepherd pie
Salad
Tuna sandwich
Anything with gravy
Scouse
Stew

Just out the jar

I love it with cheeses, especially blue cheese.

I absolutely love pickled beetroot. There is literally nothing I wouldn't eat it with 😋

Beetroot and salad cream sandwiches yum 😋

Hm, lots of helpful suggestions here.
Those saying with stews and cottage pie type dishes, how?
Plain as a side dish? Or added to the actual stew/casserole/pie?

I don’t like blue cheese, would possibly be willing to try with a milder hard cheese and crackers.
But not bread.

Beetroot and salad cream sandwiches
Salad cream!
Ugh, the stuff of childhood nightmares!
Me and DH don’t agree on a lot, but we are both in firm agreement about salad cream 🤢

Straight out the jar with a fork and then drink the juice when all the beetroots gone

Amazing with macaroni cheese.....

Chopped up with some mayo or creme fraise and chives. In a baked potato.

We have it with breaded fish. Also with say chicken egg fried rice I make. Nice on the side.

The vacuum packed beetroot you can roast. I have used it in a warm salad when I can’t get fresh.
For a warm salad I roast beetroot, red onion and butternut. And mix with steamed kale and halved sprouts. With a dressing of lemon juice, olive oil and Parmesan.
