Directions
Beetroot and goat’s cheese is such a perfect combination – I know it’s been done lots of times by lots of people (myself included!), but it just works so well that it seems a shame to do anything else with the ingredients.
Here’s a super quick way to use the flavour combination – beetroot and goat’s cheese spread! It’s unbelievably easy to make, and only has three ingredients – roasted beetroot, creamy goat’s cheese, and fresh thyme. The goat’s cheese tastes great with the beetroot, but also serves to make the spread nice and creamy.
Just throw everything in the blender – I used my trusty Optimum 9400, as usual.
Isn’t it just gorgeous?! This colour is totally unedited!
