Nigel's Top Tips

鈥⑻� When grating your beetroot it's best to pull on disposable plastic gloves.

鈥⑻� Fresh beetroot will keep for several weeks in a cool dark place.

鈥⑻� Great to serve this with a tomato & nectarine gazpacho, the recipe for which you'll find in Rejina's Gastrogeek.
