Vegan Cooking Demo with Brava oven was lots of fun and delicious!

We roasted beautiful beetroots in Brava oven in just 15 minutes and made 3 yummy dishes: 1) savory beetroot ginger vegan spread, 2) arugula salad with candied beets, shaved fennel and French radishes and 3) flatbread with arugula, candied beets, shaved fennel, French radishes and Moroccan black olives, which were enjoyed by the demo attendees with a glass of delicious French wine, the Les Deux Moulins Pinot Noir!

The savory beetroot ginger vegan spread as a unique holiday gift (Christmas in a Jar), pic. 4 was well received, which we raffled a jar of, in addition to a delicious bottle of Pinot Noir 2014 Coast Grade from Partage Winery.

Ingredients (serving size 6):

6 small red beetroots

1 can Italian butter beans (drained & rinsed)

1/4 cup pistachios (chopped into small pieces)

1/2 cup olive oil

1/4 tsp. sea salt

1/2 ground cumin

1 tbsp. Meyer lemon rinds

1/4 cup fresh Meyer lemon juice

3. Arrange the diced beets on Brava oven tray in all 3 zones, pic 6.

4. place the tray on the bottom section of the oven and roast for 15 minutes using the instructions on the cooking panel: Vegetables>>Beets>>Small (please note: the roasting/cooking time on Brava oven cooking panel is set for the whole small beets, but since these are diced, they’ll cook a lot faster and in a shorter period of time (set up a timer for 15 minutes).

5. Remove beets from the oven and let them cool for 30 minutes.

6. In a food processor, combine roasted beets, butter beans, ginger, sea salt, Meyer lemon juice and the rest of the olive oil. Process until the mixture is, pic 6.

Salad : You can also make a delicious arugula salad with candies beets, shaved fennel, French radishes, and crushed pistachios. For salad dressing, just use olive oil and Meyer lemon juice, pic. 2.
