MONDAY19TH OCTOBER - strange but wonderful recipes - Beetroot Brownies - 1st


P came home on Saturday after a cold wet morning on his sailing cruiser.

M came in hungry and wet late last night.

They both had a hot drink acccompanied by a piece of Brownie.


After all everyone loves the chocolatey richness is its collapses in your mouth and P and M were no different.
HOWEVER
the secret ingredient was revealed as something they neither of them enjoy but once disguised and adding to the moist consistency they couldn't argue that it must be a positive contribution to this rather wonderful snack.
RECIPE:
250 g good dark choc (melted)
250 g butter (melted)
250g caster sugar
3 free range eggs
150g S.R.flour
250g cooked and grated BEETROOT ( the secret ingredient!)

Combine and cook in baking tray for 20 mins at 180C
Let it cool and then eat a small piece at a time - never guzzle but savour the flavour.
