1 1/2 cups white vinegar
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon peppercorns
1 bay leaf
2 cloves

Prepare the beetroot by trimming the stems down to about an inch in length, keep tails on and remove dirt by washing.

Wearing rubber gloves,(if you like) rub skins, stems and tails off beetroot. Leave whole or cut into wedges or slices and put into sterilised jars.
Into a saucepan , put all other ingredients and bring to boil, simmer for 5 mins.
Strain the liquid through a sieve and discard spices, pouring liquid into jars until beetroot is covered.

OKRA
ReplyDeleteThis Recipe came from C Vleeskens after a chance meeting at the produce markets, i had questioned how Okra was prepared and eaten given that it can be a slimy customer.
Reference - The Complete Middle Eastern Cook Book by Tess Mallos -Landsdowne Press 1983).
To prepare OKRA- wash, dry, then put in vinegar (1/2 cup to each 500g). Leave for 30 mins. Make sure vinegar is covering all pieces- may need to turn them regularly. Then drain and rinse well. Dry before using in cooking. This gets rid of the slime.
Attached is my favourite recipe (however I don't use any salt).
