Creamy beetroot and pepperberry crackers

Naomi Sherman

Pepperberry and beetroot are a flavour pairing made in heaven. Combine them in this simple but delicious canapé recipe to kick off your evening with style.

Ingredients

SERVES: 6

Method

  1. In a small bowl, place the cashew cream cheese and the ground pepperberry. Mix to combine and then set aside to allow the flavour to infuse the cheese.
  2. Using a sharp knife or mandolin, carefully slice the cooked, whole beetroots into very thin slices.
  3. To assemble; lay out the crackers and dollop some of the prepared pepperberry cream cheese onto each one.
  4. Fold and drape the beetroot slices on top or around the edges of the cream cheese and then drizzle lightly with balsamic reduction.
  5. Finish with some sprigs of herbaceous greenery and serve.

TIPS:

  • While any vegan cream cheese will work, we love the decadence of Nutty Bay Classic Cashew Cheese.
  • Pepperberry is native to Australia and can be found in stores where premium spice ranges are sold.
  • Aim to make the pepperberry cream cheese 24 hours in advance to allow for a full favour to develop.
