@t9sus4 @jayrayner1 @DrAnnieGray @smithbarryc 200g coarse sea salt
200g fine salt
2 egg whites, lightly beaten
250g plain flour
2 rosemary sprigs, de-stalked
125ml water
6 medium beetroot, carrots, or any root veg
@t9sus4 @jayrayner1 @DrAnnieGray @smithbarryc I’m so sorry you didn’t hear which veg I cooked! We had a wonderful variety of colour beetroots and heritage carrots.
