I love the way sweet recipes can be transformed to savoury versions. Recently, I've thought of Beet clafoutis, beet rosti....beet pancakes and beet crumble. Here it goes.... —Kitchen Butterfly

  3. Add the garlic and the beetroot and fry for another 2 - 3minutes.
  4. Season with salt, pepper, ground cumin and coriander and let cook for another minute. Take off the heat.

I love food and I'm interested in making space for little-heard voices, as well as celebrating Nigerian cuisine in its entirety.

This is an interesting twist on the dessert crumble and it sounds delicious! You could even add some toasted walnuts to the topping, if you were so inclined...
