Beetroot with Whipped Feta & Black Garlic.
Beetroot it’s one people tend to have a fixed opinion on. Usually based on how it was cooked or served the last time they had it…
Handled well, beetroot is something else entirely — sweet, earthy, and capable of carrying a dish without much help.
If you’re looking for balance — sweet beetroot, sharp feta, and something deeper underneath. Our Caramelised Red Onion with Black Garlic Relish does a lot of that work.
This recipe can be served as a starter or side.
