There are a lot of ingredients starting with B! However beetroot is a favourite of mine, yet like a lot of people, seems to get forgotten from time to time. I have actually posted the odd recipe over the years containing beetroot; its a fabulous colour, a taste like nothing else, adds sweetness to a savoury dish (will liven any salad), can be eaten raw or cooked, you can eat the root and the leaves, and it is delicious juiced.

I made this recipe almost 2 months ago, and I am glad to be sharing it after a difficult time. It has been just over a month since my wonderful dad passed away.

My family and I have plenty to look forward to this year and dad will never be far from our minds. Dad really enjoyed reading my blog and we talked a lot about possible recipes and ideas. I will miss his comments….
