Ingredients 15 items

2 kg beet root boiled then peeled
For the stuffing:
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
3 large onions, diced
½ kg minced beef
2 cups mushrooms or 200 g, chopped
1 cube MAGGI Chicken Stock
½ cup or 125 ml water
2 cloves crushed garlic
½ cup walnuts or 50 g, crushed
¼ cup raisins
For the sauce:
3 cubes MAGGI Chicken Stock
4 cups water or 1 liter
1½ tablespoons corn flour, diluted in 3 tablespoons of water

How to prepare

Heat oil in a pan, add diced onions and sauté for 4 minutes. Add meat, mushrooms and cook for 15 minutes or until meat is well done.
Dissolve MAGGI Chicken Stock cubes with water. Add garlic to the stock. Pour the stock over the meat and cook the mixture on medium heat for 4 minutes.
Add walnuts and raisins to the mixture. Stir well and remove pan from heat and set aside.
Using a spoon, scoop out the inside part of the beetroot, so it becomes hallow. Reserve the stuffing.
Stuff the beetroot with the meat stuffing and place them in an oven tray, and bake in 200°C for 10 minutes.
Dissolve 3 cubes of MAGGI Chicken Stock with a liter of water. Add diluted flour to thicken the sauce.
Chop the beetroot stuffing and place it as a bed on a serving dish. Place the stuffed beetroot over the dish and pour the sauce over them.
Serve hot.
