How to make beetroot soup?
Preheat the oven to 200 degrees and line a baking tray with baking paper. Wash, peel and slice the beetroot into 1 cm thick slices. If you are using larger beetroots, you can cut the slices in half again to make the snack the size of a bite. Next, prepare the glaze by mixing together the honey, lemon juice, salt and pepper. Place the beetroot slices on a baking tray lined with baking paper, cover the slices with the glaze and roast the beetroot slices for about 20-25 minutes until tender.
Then cut or tear the oyster mushrooms into strips and place on a dry hot pan. Place the weight on top. A large pot filled with water is suitable. Bake the oyster mushrooms for about 15 minutes until the excess water has evaporated. Then cook the mushrooms for a few more minutes, until lightly golden brown and slightly crispy.
For the nut cream, blend the soaked Indian nuts with lemon juice, honey, salt and a little water to make a smooth cream with a smooth texture. Gradually add water to avoid too liquid a consistency, which is not suitable for snacks.
To serve, place the roasted beetroot slices on a large plate or serving platter, top with the baked oyster mushrooms (you can season the mushrooms to taste, but they are also delicious au naturel). Top with a drizzle of Indian nut cream and garnish with fresh dill.
