Beetroot is available commercially in jars or vacuum packed. Maybe you have grown beetroot in your garden and can use fresh tubers. For our recipes this is cooked in advance. To do this, put the washed beets in a pot and cook covered with water for about 30 minutes. Then peel like a jacket potato.
Which recipes can I prepare with beetroot?
Try out two delicious beetroot recipes: tarte flambée with beetroot and goat cheese, which is refined with honey and thyme, or a beetroot spread with chickpeas, sesame butter and coriander, which goes perfectly with fresh farmhouse bread.

The aroma of beetroot harmonizes wonderfully with the spice of goat cheese.

Beetroot spread with chickpeas
This spread tastes wonderful with fresh farmhouse bread. Once prepared, it lasts for about four days in the fridge - although we always eat it up much quicker.
Ingredients
1 beetroot tuber
100 g canned chickpeas
1 tbsp sesame butter
10 coriander leaves
½ tsp cuminTo taste Mint, chili, s alt and pepper
Preparation
- Peel the beetroot and cut into pieces (wear gloves).
- Put into a blender with the chickpeas, sesame butter and spices.

Tip
Beetroot from your own garden can be stored for up to five months. Harvest the vegetables before the first frost threatens and be careful not to damage the tubers. Line a wooden box with foil and fill it with moistened sand. Then put the beetroot inside and fill with sand. Place the box in a frost-free room, such as the garden shed or a cool basement.
