Cooked beetroot - what can I do with it?

58 replies

Bestdoanamechange · 15/02/2024 12:09

Fancied some beetroot to add to a salad but could only find precooked packs of 4 (not pickled). I now have three left and don’t know what to do with them.

I’ve looked for recipes but they mostly ask for the beets to be grated which won’t be possible. Before I resort to Borscht, does anyone have something they like making? Hopefully not too complicated and can be meat based.

TIA

Oh my goodness, so many things to try! Thank you all ☺️

Yesterday I had it with omelette and salad, today with mackerel and rice and salad so I’m a bit saladied out. It’s good to know they can be roasted as I do that with fresh but I have to say the cake is calling to me… 😋😋😋

I love the sound of chocolate cake made fom it!

We often have orange and beetroot salad - slice them both (I do rounds), a little fresh red chilli, a little olive oil and a crunchy salt. Delicious.

Stick it in a blender with some Greek yoghurt, mayo and a big dollop of horseradish. Blend it up and have it as a dip with some crudités and breadsticks.

Aussie burger - burger patty, beetroot, pineapple, fried egg.

Sounds like an odd combination but it's really good

Steam them to warm through and eat with salt and plenty of cold butter.

DancingDangerously · 15/02/2024 16:51

They're also really good roasted with red onion and garlic in a balsamic vinegar glaze.

Individual portion of beetroot, coconut and ginger soup, delicious.

Chop up and open freeze. Then when you are doing roast veg, defrost and roast a few chunks.

Or just slice beetroot and add blobs of goats cheese and handful of walnuts and balsamic dressing.

Or sliced beetroot alongside some fried halloumi and a herby vinaigrette

Notevenslightlydamp · 15/02/2024 18:24

I chuck them in a roast veg tray bake thing, similar to shed's suggestion with halloumi on top and a pesto dressing.

If you have a box grater put the box grater on its side with the chunky grate face upwards. Press the beetroot onto it. Might work for the grated receipes

GrumpyPanda · 15/02/2024 18:46

We mostly serve skillet beetroots. Mince and fry an onion together with cubed bacon. Add sliced beetroots and a little salt, pepper and sour cream. Cover and cook for 10 mins. Add salt, pepper and lots of parsley.
Or do similar, but omit parsley and add sliced oranges and a dash of Cointreau.

isthismylifenow · 15/02/2024 18:49

I have it sliced as a base for a burger or similar as I can't eat wheat.

I do love a plate of just beetroot and cheese too.

Put it in a smoothie.

Roast it and have it as a side with your hot meal.

I have loads of them too at the moment so I've also been a bit beetrooted out.

on granary bread with philadelphia and watercress, or cheddar,
we had this for lunch with a bowl of chicken and lentil soup,
I’m intrigued by the imaginative suggestions here, too

Bestdoanamechange · 15/02/2024 22:09

I am so glad I posted - some great things to try for this and future packets of beetroot.

Antonio carluccio beetroot lasagne - you can add lasagne sheets to it if you like

popncrisps · 16/02/2024 07:08

Beetroot hummus (there's some recipes online)

Cut into chunks and roast it with other veg for a side dish.

StuffLoriThangs · 16/02/2024 07:12

Roast beetroot with Brussel sprouts. Have it warm with chicken, lamb or steak.

Terribletooths · 16/02/2024 12:22

Roast with carrots and balsamic?
