When garlic meets beet a great compliment is born.

Ingredients

Garlic

Beet

Butter or oil

Spring onions

Black pepper

Method

For a tasty and healthy base or compliment to any meal, start by sautéing and sweating the garlic in butter or oil. Or to put it simply, finely chop the garlic and cook on a gentle heat for a few minutes until the garlic turns a rich, deep golden colour.

Next, chop up your beet. Try not to cut your pieces too small as it will wilt in the pan. Lightly toss your beet and spring onions through the garlic for just a minute or two to combine all flavours. Add some black pepper and coarse sea salt and toss into a hot beef salad, a frittata, or use to stuff potatoes or as the base stock for a warm, hearty winter soup.
