Roasted and Pickled Beetroot with Preserved Lemon
This recipe can be used in so many ways. Once you have made the beetroot, leave it in the fridge and you will be reaching for it on every occasion where salad is involved. It is very simple, the flavours improve over time. Get a big jar and make a lot, or just cut the recipe down and make less to suit your needs, but it will keep in the fridge for up to 2 months. Oh, and NO thermomix required! (Stop the world...what is up with that??)
I am going to make sure I have them on hand all summer long. YUM.
