Hot Grated Beetroot

• 2 medium-sized raw beetroots
• 40 g/1½ oz butter

Wash the beetroots well and wrap in foil. Bake in a preheated oven, 150°C/300°F/gas mark 2, for 1 hour. Alternatively, boil the beetroots in lightly salted water for 1 hour, until tender. When they are cooked the skin can be rubbed easily from the root.
