BEET<br />
THE MID-WINTER BLUES<br />
Warm beetroot and<br />
butternut winter salad<br />
Butternut. Beet. Goat’s cheese. A<br />
marriage made in foodie heaven.<br />
This recipe was generously<br />
shared by a chef at the De Hoop<br />
Collection in the De Hoop<br />
Reserve, just east of Cape Agulhas,<br />
on a visit a year or two ago, and<br />
we’ve made it again and again<br />
and again. It’s a method, more<br />
than a recipe, so we’ve given no<br />
quantities ... jiggle depending on<br />
how many you’re feeding. The<br />
dressing is enough for a salad for<br />
four to six people.<br />
Peel butternut and beets, cut<br />
into large, similar size chunks, toss<br />
lightly in olive oil and roast until<br />
cooked. While roasting, make the<br />
dressing. Into a small bowl, put half<br />
a cup of Mrs Ball’s chutney, add a<br />
good shake of chilli flakes, three<br />
generous tablespoons of honey, a<br />
handful of chopped spring onions,<br />
salt and freshly ground black<br />
pepper and enough olive oil to<br />
blend (about quarter of a cup).<br />
Pile some fresh rocket on a plate,<br />
then scatter the warm, baked<br />
butternut and beets over the top.<br />
Pour over the dressing, then top<br />
with dollops of goat’s cheese.<br />
Sprinkle with toasted pine nuts.<br />
Top tip: Ring the changes to suit<br />
your taste. Feta works as well as<br />
goat’s cheese, roasted walnuts<br />
can replace pine nuts, leave off<br />
the rocket if you want to serve it<br />
as a vegetable side dish instead<br />
of a salad.<br />
Good for you granola. This Raw Goji Berry<br />
& Beetroot Granola has no preservatives<br />

Oh my! The range of fabrics from The Whimsical Duchess is just glorious. Custom<br />
made, printed fabrics in tablecloths, cushion covers, tea towels or sold by the metre<br />
... brilliant for a statement sofa, a bed throw, a picnic blanket. There’s natural linen and<br />
cotton canvas, bull denim and mock linen and plush velvet too, with prices per metre<br />
from around R650. This Roots of Magenta is one of our favourites.<br />
