Beetroot mash with meat boulders, gravy, and an applesauce.
Beetroot mash is the perfect mash for when it gets colder.
It's cozy and as usual, it reminds me of my youth. I grew up on eating mash.
In the past, this recipe was gruesome to make because beetroots are very hard so you have to boil them for at least an hour, then burn your fingers trying to peel em and then grate them.
But through the awesomeness of modern technology, you can now buy them preboiled and pre-peeled in a vacuum package.
Hurray!
This recipe still requires some timing because you will have 4 pots on the stove.
Ingredients: Potatoes, beetroot mash preboiled, ground beef, bacon, applesauce, and mustard.
Cut the potatoes and put them on the stove to boil.
They won't boil straight away so that gives you time to make some meat boulders. Add mustard, salt, and pepper to the meat and form as many balls as you need. I made 3.
Put baking butter in a skillet and add the boulders. The water is probably cooking by now. You now have 20 minutes before the potatoes are done.
Grate the beetroot on a box grater and watch out with your hands!
Put the beetroot in a pan, add a little water and also start frying the bacon in another skillet. Four pans on the fire by now.
After 20 minutes the potatoes are done. Drain them and mash them.
Add the beetroot and mash.
Add the bacon to the mixture. Also, change the masher for a wooden spoon (you are not a savage!) and add mustard.
The meat boulders should be done, take them out and add a little bit of water to the skillet to make a gravy.
End result. Awesome. This mash is full of flavor, it just works!
ps. Bianca hates applesauce but I love it. My brother and I would go through a jar every night when we were kids!
I Loled at "add the boulders"

I like mash potato and I like how you cooked the meat but regardless of how good people tell me beetroot is for your health I actually hate the stuff but I eat fruits and veggies instead @exyle
My dear where are the fried onions!
I remember when you were younger you loved ' bietjesstampot' (beetroot mash) with fried bacon AND fried onions! It was a lot to make for five persons, (cooking potatoes, cooking the beets, making balls from the ground beef and preparing them, frying the bacon and the onions and then, when it was all done, you and your brother covered it with applesauce and gravy.
I remember it so well like it was yesterday!
Wow mind blowing. Great presentation i must say. Beets are one of those vegetables we often overlook, and they're rich in nutrients and antioxidant compounds. This recipe is a great way to enjoy beets. Thanks for sharing, i enjoyed it too:)
Wow, this is lovely. I've been following your posts for the past 1week, and I must say, brother life has favorable to you. From all the game playing with @ezzy,to all the grilling at night, to the meal at your mums place, and now this, seriously, I wish to be like you when I grow up.
This is good.
Great cooking. This looks great from the sight. What a great way to enjoy beetroot.
Yeah i agree that technology has made peeling beetroot easier, but then, we saved nutrients and colour, cook beetroot without peeling first, and leave the roots and 2cm of the leaf stems attached. They are easily peeled and trimmed after cooking. But technology has its ups and downs. Nice dish
The real deal is the best, I agree. But I guess my meals are more realistic time wise for most people.
