Total Time: 55 mins Preparation Time: 15 mins Cook Time: 40 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 4
• 6 medium beetroots
• 1 large red onion
• 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
• 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar

Recipe

• 1 dice onion into 1 x 1 cm chunks.
• 2 cut the leafy tops off the beetroot, leaving about 2-3 inches (to stop the colour from running.) place beetroot in a saucepan and cover them with cold water. bring the water to the boil and then boil until cooked. this should take about 20 minutes, a knife should slide easily into them when beetroot are cooked. this is a good time to make the dressing!
• 3 drain the hot water out when beetroot is ready and refill the saucepan with cold water. this make peeling beetroot a lot easier. peel the beetroot, remove the ends, and cut into quarters.
• 4 place the cut beetroot into a baking dish, crumble the onion over the top, and pour the dressing over the beetroot and onion, making sure that everything is well coated.
• 5 bake in a moderate oven for about 15 minutes or until the onion cooked.
• 6 to make dressing~.
• 7 get a glass or shaker and put in the balsamic, olive oil and brown sugar and shake or stir until well combined.
• 8 do a taste test - if it tastes fine set aside. (dressing should be a good mix of sweet and tart - if too tart add a little more olive oil, and if too oily add more balsamic.).
