Spread the love

Ingredients for 3 servings:

  • 4 beetroot bulbs
  • 2 bulbs of fennel
  • 1 m.-large onion(s), red
  • 1 piece(s) ginger (2 thumbs size)
  • salt and pepper
  • ¾ tsp, leveled spice mix, Chinese
  • chili powder
  • 1 tbsp, heaped cream cheese or coconut milk
  • 500 ml water, approx.

Instructions

Working time approx. 20 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 20 minutes; Total time approx. 40 minutes

First, dice the fennel bulbs into small pieces, reserving some of the fennel greens for garnish. Sauté the finely chopped onion in a little olive oil until translucent, then add the finely chopped ginger and fennel, then briefly sauté and deglaze with about 500 ml of water. Now add the beetroot: Peel and wash the fresh beetroot, cut it into small pieces, and add it to the pot with the rest. After about 7 minutes, add the pre-cooked beetroot, also chopped, and season with the spices. When the vegetables are soft, puree everything until creamy; you may need to add a little more water. Bring back to a boil, season to taste, and add cream cheese or coconut milk. Served with fennel greens, it’s a feast for the eyes and the stomach.
