Beetroot is beautiful, isn’t it? Such an incredibly vibrant colour. Shame it tastes so nasty! Fellow beetroot haters, do no dismiss the following recipe due to its inclusion of the cloyingly sweet root vegetable.

Polenta al Forno (serves 2 with salad) 200g home-made or pre-made set polenta, cut into 1 cm thick slices or circles 300g [...]
