RECIPE: Adelaide Central Market

Ingredients

  • 220g beetroot
  • 250g unsalted butter diced
  • 180g dark chocolate (70% cocoa solids), roughly chopped
  • 2 tsp orange zest finely grated
  • 250g rapadura sugar or light brown sugar
  • 3 extra-large eggs lightly beaten
  • 1 cup whole meal plain flour sifted
  • 1/4 cup cocoa sifted
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp ground ginger

Method

  1. Preheat oven to 180°C (160°C fan-forced). Lightly grease and line a 20cm x 20cm square brownie tin with baking paper.
  2. Place beetroot in small saucepan covered in water, over a medium-high heat. Bring to boil and cook until tender.
  3. Drain, allow to cool, before removing skin and cutting into chunks. Place beetroot chunks in a food processor and puree until smooth.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, combine butter, chocolate, zest and sugar together over a saucepan of simmering water. Stir occasionally until mixture is melted and smooth.
  5. Add pureed beetroot, eggs, flour, cocoa, cinnamon, ginger and walnuts, stirring until combined.
