Hi Jeanne, yes, grated knuckle, and not the fiurst time I’ve done it either. I did think of the blood and then realised it was expertly camouflaged, thankfully they were only for me!

They were absolutely dewlicious, I’ve ideas to dress them up a bit which I’ll tackle soon. I’ve no shelf space either, my cookbooks are in my bedroom, the kitchen and the living room, but I live on my own so I can get away with it ;)

Julia, yes, raw, sorry, I’ll edit the recipe.

Aaaargh, grated knuckle! Sounds like something I would do… oh no, hang on, HAVE done! At least you won’t see the bloodstain in the beetroom :o)

Seriously, this looks to me like the best possible use of beetroot, which I usually consider an Evil Root Vegetable. Thanks for sharing – and the cookbook sounds fascinating, although my darling husband has declared a moratorium on further cookbooks seeing as we have officially run out of shelf space!
