Recipe November! Beetroot Bortlebean Salad
I couldn't remember the word "borlotti" the other day, hence Bortlebean. I've also blogged beetroot salads before, but this one has different things in, so there.
500g beetroots
250g raw carrots, peeled and grated
6 spring onions, trimmed and chopped finely
5 tbs walnut oil or olive oil
400g can of borlotti beans, drained and rinsed
2 tbs white wine vinegar
a handful of chopped walnuts
a handful of dried cranberries
1 tsp caraway seeds
chopped parsley
salt and pepper
Cook the beetroots by wrapping them in foil and bunging them in the oven while you cook something else. They seem very tolerant of differing cooking times and temperatures, but 45 minutes at 180 C is probably ideal for large beets.
Let them cool, then peel and chop them. Put in a large bowl and mix in all the other ingredients. Season, and add more oil or vinegar to taste. Scrape into airtight containers for packed lunch. Make sure they're good containers, because if this leaks it'll look like your handbag is dripping blood.

now I needed that recipie about a month back when I was given 3 large beets. They were used up but not in a tasty concotion like this.
The good containers thing is excellent advice, and here's some more:
when you go to the loo after eating this, remember that you've had beetroot. You are (probably) NOT going to die.
(Yeah, almost took myself to hospital once after forgetting about the beetroot I'd eaten the night before).
