A lovely spicy Shiraz is a slam<br />
dunk for winter beets<br />
Cooler weather calls for hearty root vegetables<br />
and succulent meat dishes. And those, in turn,<br />
call for a spicy Shiraz. Tokara Chef Carolize<br />
Coetzee has shared the recipe for her flavourful<br />
salt-baked beetroot, which is perfectly paired<br />
with the estate’s full-bodied premium Tokara<br />
Shiraz.<br />
Salt-baked beetroot<br />
You’ll need:<br />
4 medium-sized whole beetroot; 800g coarse<br />
salt; 3 egg whites from extra-large eggs; 500g<br />
cake flour; 250ml water<br />
For the garnish: Raspberries, fennel, toasted<br />
walnuts and celery.<br />
Method:<br />
Preheat the oven to 180°C<br />
Blend the salt and flour together in a food<br />
processor until fine. In a mixer with a dough<br />
hook, mix the flour mixture with the egg whites<br />
and water until a dough is formed.<br />
Wash and dry the unpeeled beetroot.<br />
Roll out the dough until 5mm in thickness. Cut<br />
into big enough pieces and wrap around each<br />
entire beetroot.<br />
Bake for 1 hour, then remove from oven and<br />
cool slightly. Break open the dough and remove<br />
the beetroot. Discard the baked dough.<br />
Peel the beetroot, then rinse and dry with a<br />
paper towel. Cool and slice the beetroot thinly.<br />
Garnish with raspberry, fennel, toasted walnuts<br />
and celery.<br />

Salt Flakes add extra<br />
flavour and a pop of<br />
colour to even the<br />
most simple dish.<br />
The beetroot stains<br />
the salt a beautiful<br />
pink colour and<br />
gives it a delicate,<br />
earthy flavour, while<br />
the garlic gives<br />
the mixture some<br />
punch. R70 from<br />
