400g large beetroot
1 sprig thyme
1 sprig rosemary
1 bay leaf
2 tbsp olive oil
3 grains allspice
Pepper
3 grains juniper, crushed slightly

  1. Scrub the beetroot and place on a large sheet of foil. Add the thyme, rosemary, bay leaf, olive oil, allspice, pepper, crushed juniper, a pinch of salt and wrap up tightly.
  2. Place the wrapped beetroot on a baking tray on shelf level 2 on the ‘True Fan Cooking’ program and cook at 220°C for 30 minutes, then reduce the heat to 150°C and continue baking for 3-4 hours, or until tender when pierced with a knife.
To serve

Unwrap the beetroot, cut them in half and spoon over the remaining contents of the parcel. This dish can be served warm or cold.
