Fall autumn recipe idea : A warming and fragrant five spice beetroot and gammon stew recipe
Erm, yeah. I had and have this thing going on with beetroot.
Let me just rewind to my ‘before beetroot’ years. When, I definitely had an ‘urrrrg’ beetroot thing. Along with phrases like if beetroot did not exist the world could definitely be a better place. You have GOT to be kidding if you think I am eating THAT.
Fast forward to my after beetroot years. My happy place. My ‘why did I miss out on the taste of beetroot all these years. My how can I make up for it thinking. My happy dance moments because the kiddoes love them some beetroot and cabbage slaw ‘without that thing (aka spring onions) that hurts our mouths mama’.
I am certainly making up for it now. My beetroot thing is becoming a big thing in the house. So much so that Freddy makes sure that we never ever run out of beetroot. I am talking about a hundred beetroot recipes including cardamom beetroot cupcakes, maple balsamic roasted beetroot and polenta, spicy beetroot soup and beetroot as stock in a purple potato and beef curry. Oh beetroot, I do have a thing for you.
My latest thing is this five spice beetroot and gammon stew recipe. Totally combines my beetroot thing with my other things aka gammon and five spice.
You can so see why this is one of my favourite autumn recipes at the moment. I love the slight sweetness from the beetroot, the smokiness from the gammon, fragrance from the five spice and that full belly feeling from the borlotti beans. Yeap, all the things that autumn dinners should be about.
I have totally got your back with this five spice gammon stew with lots and lots and lots of beetroot and beans.

Thank you, Bintu, for this recipe! It was delicious. (A tad too salty. Used unsmoked gammon, already cooked beetroot and whatever beans found(butter and red kidney)). Its Omnomnom!Will try to use this beetroot mousse as a tomato sauce alternative! Thank you again!!!
