Thermomix Beetroot Relish
(http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_bNPH41zg68M/SmqECPrDObI/AAAAAAAAAoo/AB_iHB4RosA/s400/BeetrootPickle.jpg)
Ingredients:
250g onions, peeled and quartered
1 Tbsp vegetable oil
500g beetroot, peeled and cut into eighths
200g sugar
1 MC (100ml) water
5 g grated horseradish, (I did a large amount in the Thermomix previously)
5 g brown mustard seeds
1 tsp salt
100ml red wine vinegar
Method:
Place onions into TM bowl and chop for 10 seconds on speed 5. Add oil and sauté for 5 minutes at 100°C on Speed 1.
Add beetroot to TM bowl and grate for 20 - 30 seconds on Speed 6, scrape down the sides every 10 seconds to incorporate all the beet and to check on size. The pieces should be similar in size to lentils. Add sugar, water, horseradish, mustard seeds and salt and cook for 30 - 40 minutes at 90°C on Speed 1 with the MC in place. The beetroot should be cooked, but not soft and mushy.
Add vinegar and blend for 10 seconds on Speed 3.
May be stored in the fridge for a week, or you can place in sterilised jars and seal to keep longer.

This looks delicious. What did you serve it with Thermomixer??
-
Good question - think it was pork for the initial meal, but it would go with most meats, burgers, poultry and some fish (especially smoked - Lake House restaurant has beetroot with smoked eel)
For a short cut - you could easily use drained tinned beetroot, leave out the water, cook with the onions, horseradish (or not), mustard seeds, salt and sugar for about 10 minutes and just leave out half of the vinegar ;)
-
Thanks. Sounds very versatile. Will give it a whirl! :)
-
Where do you get horseradish from? Never seen it in shop!
-
We have it with mustards in the supermarket. Where are you from?
-
I've seen horseradish cream etc but not actual fresh horseradish. I'm in Australia :)
I'm assuming this recipe uses fresh or can you use something else?
-
If you use fresh horseradish be careful,it's powerful stuff and can burn your nose if you inhale the fumes. :o It's very easy to grow here in the UK,once it's established it's hard to eradicate,a useless bit of information for those who live in Oz :D :D
-
:D :D :D :D.
-
Can you buy this brand in Australia?

-
Lol I can imagine it burning nose as the cream I've used does a good enough job of that! Hehe
Not sure on that brand but in the past in a less regional setting I've been able to buy horseradish stuff so will have a hopeful look at local shop! Just wasn't sure if you could use non fresh hehe
-
I bought fresh horseradish a few years ago(in Sydney) & was nearly asphyxiated when I grated it(way before TM)! My eyes & nose took a couple of hours to recover...fabulous stuff though! I love it. We don't see it very often here! Goes so well with beetroot. Have bottled stuff which works well too. The cream goes well but is much milder. I'm about to try this recipe as I have a "plethora" of beetroot. Thanks Thermomixer...Love this forum.
-
Has anyone made this recipe? I love Maggie Beer's beetroot relish and I'm not sure of this one with horseradish in it.
-
another 2 weeks and my beetroot will be ready to pull, will try this as I love beetroot and horseradish
-
I have made beetroot relish pre TMX with and without horseradish and i disliked intensely the recipe with horseradish but it is very much a personal preference. I love hot spicy foods and i cook and eat extremely hot chillis regularily in authentic asian foods but I find horseradish overpowering and not to my palate at all. Same with wasabi I dislike it with a passion. So I can only say the beetroot relish without the horseradish is my choice but it is a matter of personal taste JD. ???
-
I don't think I would like it either MF and I'm sure it would be OK without it.
-
Bump.
Have beetroot that I bought at Farmers Market, have grown some Horseradish so will make this. Love horseradish and the TMX does a great job of grating it. Made horse radish cream to have with roast beef and the cream makes a good sandwich spread.
-
I can't find any nice Beetroot round at the moment. They all look heat challenged. I love them roasted. I wanted to try them with goat's cheese on a pizza with the garlic sauce.
-
Cookie, the beets from the farmers Market were very large and fresh. $4 for a bunch of 3. Each weighed 500g. There have to be some advantages of living in a cold climate. ;D
-
That's funny Chookie. I love to eat cooked Beetroot like an apple so they would be lovely.
-
Is Maggie's recipe on the forum please? My hubby loves beetroot but hates horseradish.
-
Could easily leave the horseradish out. Can't even taste it. I would double it next time.
-
Maggie Beer sells her Beetroot Relish so I doubt she has a recipe out there for anyone to use past94x - I've looked and couldn't find it :'(
-
Ok. Thanks for replying. Maybe I'll try the other relish and leave out the horseradish.
-
I'm going to try it too without the horseradish past94x but I did find this recipe (http://www.abc.net.au/tv/cookandchef/txt/s2423863.htm) of Maggies which, although listed as a dip, I think it would also make a great relish.
-
I think Thermixer's one is better. It is more 'pickle' like. I think that the beans in Maggies is more a dip. Thermomixer's one can be sealed like jam in a jar. Not so sure about Maggies, probably better frozen.
-
I fancy trying this but cant be bothered to source fresh horseradish, do you think a bit of chilli sauce may give it a nice kick??

Yes.

Another beetroot lover - WOOHOO! I love beetroot on its own just bite into it - YUMMO.
-
Wasabi would work.

Bumping :)

I made this today, used orange juice as half the quantity of water plus the zest of the orange as well. I didn't add the horseradish and reduced the sugar to 170g. I didn't read the recipe correctly and added the red wine vinegar at the beginning of the recipe. I think my onion and beetroot quantities were slightly under weight which may be the reason my relish was a bit runny. I cooked it a further 5 mins on varoma with the MC off to achieve the consistency I wanted. I won't chop the beetroot for quite as long next time either but yes, I did enjoy it on cheese and crackers. Some relishes I've made have been too thick but this one will be great on my corned beef sandwiches and hamburgers.
It made 3 jars.
-
It sounds brilliant Judy. Does the taste of the orange come through much please?
-
I might have to try this as I was given some fresh beetroot today.
-
Not that I can taste cookie. I tossed up as to whether I'd do this recipe or another one with the orange in it then decided to just sub the water for the OJ. It was a small orange so there was probably only 50g juice which I topped up with water.
-
I have an abundance of beetroot in the veggie garden I will make some of this .
-
We love Beetroot Relish. I use it in burgers and sandwiches instead of beetroot.
