The beetroot crisps / chips are delicious on their own, or served as an accompaniment or as an attractive and tasty garnish. They are quick and easy to make and cost a fraction of store bought crisps. Beetroot crisps will also be an interesting conversation piece at your next party, as almost no-one will have had them before!!!
Ingredients
  • Fresh beetroot (as many as you need for your requirements)
  • Oil for deep-frying
  • Coarse salt and fresh rosemary to garnish
Instructions
  1. Wash and dry the beetroot thoroughly, then top and tail them.
  2. Using a very sharp knife or a mandolin, cut the beetroot into thin slices of 1 to 2 mm in thickness.
  3. Fill a large pan with oil to a depth of 25mm or 1 inch and heat this to 170c or 325f.
  4. Carefully drop the slices one by one into the oil until the surface of the pan is covered in a single layer of frying beet.
  5. Fry the chips for 8 to 10 minutes until the surface of the crisps is bubbled. The slices will not crisp entirely until they cool, so at this stage, remove them from the oil and drain on kitchen paper.
  6. Repeat this until all of your chips are cooked.
  7. As a serving suggestion, transfer the crisps to platters, sprinkle with a little coarse salt and some roughly chopped fresh rosemary.

Instructions
To make the gluten
  1. Combine the all-purpose flour and salt in a mixing bowl and pour in the warm water.
  2. Mix this together with a wooden paddle until a dough starts to come together.
  3. Using your hands compress the dough together until all of the flour combines into a single mass.
  4. Turn the dough out onto your work surface and knead the dough for 5 minutes until it is smooth and elastic.
  5. Place the dough back into the bowl, cover with a damp tea towle and allow this to rest for 60 minutes.
  6. Remove the dough from the bowl. Wash the dough under cold running water, pressing, squeezing and pulling the dough as you do this.
  7. Continue this action for about 5 minutes until the water runs clear, and you have about 300g of spongy gluten.

  3. Heat your wok to smoking hot, add 30ml of oil and fry the gluten in batches until golden brown. Remove from the wok and continue until all of the gluten is cooked. Add a little more oil between batches if necessary.
  4. Add the green pepper to the wok and fry for 3 minutes until the edges are starting to brown.
