It's been a hot, hot day on the plot, and I’ve only just finished harvesting my Boltardy beetroots from the allotment.
And thanks to Hugh FW, I have managed to find a dish that gets my children eating beetroot. Admittedly, chocolate is involved, but actually, this is a really delicious recipe and left me feeling smug as I have never been able to get them to eat beetroot before. Thanks Hugh

These chocolate brownies are soooooo moist, and just have a subtle smacking of wholesome earthiness to them. Pure genius! However, I must warn you, grating beetroot in your kitchen does leave the place looking like the murder scene from chainsaw massacre, but it did amuse the kids.
