We heard a
rumour that Beetroot can help cure a hangover and has healing powers. Don’t believe
us? Go here for more curious facts and you decide! We tried this recipe and it was an absolute hit on national Braai Day! Let us know if you tried it.
• 4 beetroot (beets) (200 g each), washed and trimmed
• Olive oil, for drizzling
• Sea salt flakes and freshly ground black pepper
• 25 ml red wine vinegar
• 250 g fresh ricotta, crumbled
• 1 large pinch of mint leaves, torn
• Preheat the oven to 220°C (425°F/Gas 7)
Preparation
• Cut 2 sheets of foil and lay them across each other to make a cross.
• Put the beetroot in the middle, drizzle with the olive oil, season with salt and pepper, then
wrap up the beetroot to completely seal.
• Place on a baking tray and roast for 1 hour.
• Insert a skewer through a bulb to test to see if they’re cooked.
• Once done, carefully transfer onto a serving plate, unwrap, cut an ‘X’ into the tops and push down like a jacket potato.
• Leave to cool for a few minutes.
• Just before serving, drizzle over the vinegar, top with the ricotta and mint and season with a little more salt and pepper.
• We suggest scooping the beetroot flesh out without eating the skin.
Serves 4 as a side
