This dish is from the River Cottage and is good for parties. You could also serve it, rather than on toast, inside thin slices of seared beef fillet.

Very nice recipe - beetroots get such a nice caramelized taste when you bake them. You mentioned brown toast - do you mean wheat bread toasted? I wonder how would this work on a pumpernickel bread.


Yes, wholemeal bread toasted (I am originally from the UK and the terms brown and white bread are obvious there - sorry!) I think this would work very well on pumpernickel - the key is for the base to be very crunchy and be able to hold together in the seconds it will remain on the plate :)


This is a great post. You have my interest up. High 5.


Oh yes! i love these two ingredience but never thought to bring them together, beets and blue cheese, it just sound like a winner, cant wait to try this!!
