We harvested our first beetroots yesterday and they were so tasty. We pulled three out of the ground and turned them into a mouth-watering salad with honey, mustard and goat's cheese. The recipe is below - it's an adaption of a hot beetroot salad we discovered on the BBC Good Food website.
Ingredients
3 raw beetroots
1 lemon
1 tsp vegetable oil
1 tsp clear honey
1 tsp grainy mustard
Lots of goat's cheese!
Method
1. Boil the beetroot for about 20-30 minutes depending on the size. The larger the beetroot the longer the boiling time.
2. Test the beetroot is cooked by inserting a sharp knife into it, if the beetroot slides off easily then it is cooked.
3. Peel the beetroot and slice into thin circles.
4. Add a little oil into a frying pan and gently fry the beetroot for a couple of minutes.
5. Drizzle the juice of the lemon over the beetroot.
6. Add the honey and mustard and toss so all the slices are well coated.
7. Crumble a very generous helping of goat's cheese on top of the beetroot slices and serve.

The hot beetroot salad recipe sounds delicious. From the snowy scenes of December, your garden is now wonderfully lush with the plants enjoying the summer - quite a transformation. Another big change will be the paving - hope the work is going well - can't wait to see the photos.
Thanks Dave and Sheila. :-) Yes, the garden is enjoying summer and so are we! The new paving looks great, though we're waiting for a big rain shower now to wash away all the white dust which covered the garden when they were cutting the slabs. We're not complaining about the sunshine though! We've posted one photo and will post a few more soon.
