Ingredients
- 3 beetroot peeled, large
- 2 celery sticks
- 1 onion peeled, large
- 1 carrot peeled, large
- 1 apple peeled (optional, small, crisp
- 1 tbsp butter
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 14 oz crushed tomatoes 400g
- 8 ½ cups vegetable broth or stock made with cubes / bouillon, 2 liters
- 2 bay leaf
- pinch cloves ground
- pinch ground allspice
- salt to season, freshly ground
- black pepper to season, freshly ground
- dill to garnish, fresh
- sour cream to serve
- olive oil to drizzle, a little
Instructions
- Coarsely grate all the vegetables and apple - ideally using a food processor. If grating by hand, use a large box grater and take care to take as beetroot can stain your worktop (and certainly your hands).
- Add the butter and olive oil to a large pot and heat until butter melts.
- Tip all the grated vegetables/apple into the pot and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly.
- Add the tomatoes, bay leaves, cloves and allspice and season with salt and pepper.
- Add the broth / stock and bring to the boil. Lower heat to a simmer, partially cover the pot and cook for 1 hour and 30 minutes. Remove the bay leaves.
- Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Stir in a good handful of chopped fresh dill or add a little as a garnish.
- Serve with a dollop of sour cream, a drizzle of olive oil and the puff pastry hearts if using.
Equipments used:
Notes
- To make the puff pastry hearts, use pre-rolled puff pastry and cut out shapes using a small heart cutter. Brush with egg wash and cook in a preheated oven (220C/425F) for about 8 minutes or until puffed and golden.
