Thermomix Beetroot Salad



Ingredients:

1 large orange, peeled and roughly chopped, seeds removed
100g onions, peeled and quartered
1 Tbsp vegetable oil
500g beetroot, peeled and cut into eighths
100g sugar
1 MC (100ml) water
2 tsp ground coriander
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp salt
50ml rice wine vinegar

Preparation:

Place orange segments into TM bowl and chop for 20 seconds on speed 6. Remove and set aside.

Place onions into TM bowl and chop for 10 seconds on speed 5. Add oil and sauté for 5 minutes at 100°C on Speed 1.

Add beetroot to TM bowl and grate for 20 - 30 seconds on Speed 6. The pieces should be similar in size to lentils. Add sugar, water, spices, salt and reserved orange puree and cook for 30 - 40 minutes at 90°C on Speed 1 with the MC in place. The beetroot should be cooked, but not soft and mushy.

Add vinegar and blend for 10 seconds on Speed 3.

PS. May pay to try with just 50ml water to start  -  see Bedlam's comments below

I made this today, I love the flavours, always enjoy cumin.  Beautiful colour.  It did have a little too much liquid (IMHO).  Next time I would cook off a bit more liquid. I will make it again. Thanks Thermomixer.

Cheers Bedlam - may pay for anyone wanting to try it to just start with 50ml of water, especially if you have nice juicy oranges.

Yes it was juicy, love the flavours.
