Roast beetroot, onion, and apple puree with caraway

Before I started my downsizing mission, I used to make a beetroot puree that involved vast amounts of double cream and brown sugar. It was absolutely delicious. This has neither but is equally delicious – no idea why – but I thoroughly recommend it.  It goes wonderfully well with game,  salmon, or breast of chicken.

Ingredients
  • 2 beetroot
  • 2 red onions
  • 1 apple
  • A pinch of caraway seeds
  • 4 teaspoons olive oil
  • A teaspoon of honey
  • Balsamic vinegar
  • Salt and pepper
  • Optional: Greek yogurt or skyr

METHOD
  1. Heat the oven to 200º / fan 180º/ gas mark 6.
  2. Peel the beetroot and cut into thick chips.
  3. Peel the onions and cut into 6 chunks.
  4. Quarter and core the apple.
  5. Put it all in a bowl; add the oil, honey, caraway seeds and salt and pepper, and mix really well.
  6. Roast in the oven until the beetroot are caramelised and soft – about 40 minutes, turning everything over half way through.
  7. Puree with a stick blender till really smooth. Add the balsamic vinegar – and if you want it to be looser, thin it with milk or water.  It is equally nice with or without the yogurt.
