Ingredients

  • 1 kg beetroot, scrubbed and trimmed
  • olive oil
  • 1 large red onion
  • 2 large cloves garlic
  • 3/4 cup thick Greek style yoghurt

Preheat oven to 160 C.  Chop beetroot roughly into quarters, smaller if they are big.
Place beetroot on a large piece of aluminium foil in a roasting dish.  Draw the foil up over the beetroot and pinch to seal.  Bake for 1 hour or until a skewer easily slides into the beetroot.  Allow to cool.

Arrange beetroot and sliced red onion on  platter,  top with yoghurt and then pistachio nuts and cumin seeds.
