Recipe Tip: Braised Beetroot

Instructions

1. Step 1

   Preheat the oven to 190°C. Grease a roasting or casserole dish with olive oil. Spread the beetroot wedges on it and season with salt.

2. Step 2

   Squash the garlic cloves with their skins intact with the flat side of a kitchen knife and scatter them over.

3. Step 3

   Quarter the bay leaves and spread over the beets with the thyme sprigs. Drizzle with a little olive oil, and mix everything together. Place in the oven for 45 to 60 minutes, turning two or three times.

4. Step 4

   Season with balsamic vinegar halfway through the cooking time. Test the beetroot with a fork - the beets should be slightly caramelised and still firm. Take out of the oven, remove herbs and garlic.

5. Step 5

   Spread the basil leaves and the cream cheese in generous pieces over the beets, drizzle with a little olive oil, pepper and serve.
