Can I Stirfry Beetroot?

[NotQuiteCockney]

Can I shred/grate beetroot and stirfry it? Does it need a lot of cooking?

(No matter what I do with beetroot, it always ends up undercooked, ime ...)

if you like everything pink yes you can ;)

Yes, well, that's inevitable with beetroot. The only option that avoids everything being pink is the "throw out the beetroot" one.

Piffle, have you stirfried beetroot?

It doesn't really need any cooking - very similar texture to carrot when grated. I put some in a bolognese sauce the other day - just chucked it in near the end like I do with grated carrot - worked quite well.

I should be grating it more often, then ... thanks!

Should I ask?

No just the thoughts of stir frying a MNer that is all.

Surely the grating is the bit that would really hurt, though?

Ohhhhhhhhhhhh eyes watering.

A friend of mine made a beetroot gratin - it was tasty.

See, I did beetroot with cream, mustard and smoked haddock, and didn't like it that much. It was orange beetroot, but I don't think that makes a difference ... the sweetness of the beetroot with the mustard etc was a bit weird.

Maybe a regular gratin would be ok, though ...
