Cook: 1 hour 15 minutes

Serves: 6

If you prefer to cook these indoors, you can use a griddle pan on the stove top to char the beetroots all over then finish them off in a hot oven (200°C) until they are tender and cooked through.


Method:

  • First make the dukkah: Put a dry frying pan on a medium heat and add the nuts and coriander seeds. Roast for about 5 minutes until golden-brown. Stir occasionally to ensure they do not burn. Take off the heat.

  • Place in a food processor and add the cumin, chilli, oregano and salt. Run a few blitzes or pulses – it should be in small pieces but not too finely chopped. Store in a dry, airtight container.

  • To prepare the beetroot: Add charcoal or firewood to half of the barbecue so that you have space to roast the beetroot using indirect heat later.
