Juice 1/2 lemon

Method:
Peel the beetroot and wrap in foil, drizzled with a little olive oil. Add a tablespoon of water into the foil too.
Bake for about 45 minute or until tender (180 deg C.). Add the garlic (skin on) to the foil for the last 15 minutes of baking.
Leave to cool. You can cook the beetroot ahead of time if you like.
In a shallow pan, fry the spices until fragrant.

Serve with a drizzle of olive oil and crushed pistachios.
