Creamy Beetroot Tahini Dressing

Whenever I have a bunch of beetroot, if I’m not using it raw, I will always use this method of roasted them. It involves simply wrapping each in foil and baking in the oven until tender. After this, the skin naturally slips off when agitated with a spoon.

What you’ll be left with is a softly cooked beet, similar to what you might find in canned beetroot, but without the sogginess and lack of flavour that comes from soaking in the canning liquid. Seriously, there is zero need to buy canned beetroot.

After this you can simply store in the fridge to add to dressings like this one or toss through salads for a hint of sweet earthy flavour like in by vibrant lamb salad.
