This recipe is time taking only because it requires some extra time for preparing the broth with the meat and cooked beetroots.

Usually, I would plan this dish during the winter on Friday night so we can have some leftovers the next day for lunch or a small dinner for two.

It may seem like a big deal while reading the recipe, but really it is not that complicated, you just have to get organized and allow 2 hours for cooking – all up. So once you’ve planned for it cooking comes naturally and just flows easy.

So pop your favourite move on and you won’t know how quickly time is passed while cooking this absolutely delicious recipe! 

Enjoy
