I’m usually the one saying, ‘Cook your beetroot whole!’ and ‘Leave the skin on!’ but in this recipe I’m going to tell you to do the exact opposite: ‘Peel the beetroot and cut them up into little cubes.’ I’m doing this because the beetroot gets cooked in the same way you’d cook a risotto, so you don’t lose flavour.
This salad is delicious warm as a light dinner, or at room temperature when on a picnic. The beauty of it is that the flavours get better the longer it sits. I like to eat it with some peppery wild rocket leaves, served on the side (keeping it separate stops the leaves wilting on the way to the picnic).
