Roasting beetroots is something that scared me for some unknown reason - maybe just because it is unknown! But so easy, and they come out looking so delicious!
I roasted the beetroots one day and made the dip the next.
The final product was vibrant in colour and had a gentle sweet taste. The problem was the aftertaste. "Earthy" is how my gracious husband described it, otherwise known as tasting like 'dirt'!
I think maybe it is because the beetroot i bought wasn't freshly rooted from the garden? (i'm pretty sure it would have hung around for a while in our small local fruit and vege shop)
I will try this again now i know if i grow my own beetroot i will be able to cook them :)
I'm not a huge earth beetroot lover but I have found success with really small beetroot. I'm not sure if they taste less earthy or not but the last few batches have been nicer and less "earthy".
ReplyDeleteI came across your site from the foodieblogroll and I'd love to guide Foodista readers to your site. I hope you could add this beet widget at the end of this post so we could add you in our list of food bloggers who blogged about beet,Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI love beetroot. We boil them and serve them with a yogurt/garlic dip. I believe this dip tastes equally great.
ReplyDeleteToday i used some of this dip i had frozen on Nigella's Crustless Pizza, it was delicious.
