and toast da dine nuts!

Do you know if I can roast beetroot without boiling it first??

Yes, wrap in foil and put in oven about 200 degrees. Don't even need to peel them first, as the skin just rubs off when they are done.

A small one - golf ball size - will take about one hour, bigger ones about 2. But just stick a knife in and see if they are done.

Or you can peel and slice them then roast, but tbh this is huge messy faff and doesn't taste as nice for all the effort.

boil, slice, crumble feta, finely chopped red onion, herby salad leaves, tomatoes, garlic vinaigrette, maldon salt crumbled...

beetroot soup also delicious... could garnish w feta and pine nuts?

Thanks so much everyone. Am cooking this as a starter tomorrow evening so will let you know how it goes!
