A great little make-ahead side dish that would work well with roasts and veggie feasts. Not quite pickled, these beetroot are still sweet but also a little sour.

Ingredients

  • beetroot: 650g/1lb 7oz beetroot
  • red wine vinegar: 500ml/17fl oz white or red wine vinegar
  • 2 litre/3陆 pints water
  • salt: pinch of salt
  • garlic: 2 garlic cloves, sliced
  • oregano: 1 tbsp dried oregano
  • chilli: 1 red chilli, finely chopped
  • olive oil: 500ml/17fl oz olive oil

Method

  1. Wash and scrub the beetroot under cold running water. Place them in a saucepan with the vinegar, salt and water and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat, cover then pan and simmer for about 1录 hours until the beetroot is tender. Meanwhile, combine all the marinade ingredients in a bowl and set aside.

  2. Once the beetroot is cooked, drain, place on a cloth and pat dry. Remove the skins with the help of the cloth. Cut into slices, place in the marinade and mix well. Leave for a day before serving. The beetroot will keep for several days in a covered container in the fridge but should be brought to room temperature before serving.

  3. Serve with some salami or air dried tuna.
