When you are ill, comfort food is required: chocolate beetroot brownies. River Cottage or Riverford recipe?
Having indulged in chocolate beetroot brownies from the River Cottage field kitchen at Port Eliot last week, I decided I needed to make some for myself, to enhance the healing of the chest infection I have been suffering from.
Chocolate is always comforting, and with the added boost of vitamin C from the beetroot, can only be considered a healthy convalescent snack.
I rooted through my recipe books, and came up with two. The Hugh Fearnley Whittingstall River Cottage one would (hopefully) replicate the teatime yumminess from Port Eliot, but I also came across a wheat free Riverford one from Jane Baxter's recipe book, with extra cocoa powder, ground almonds and Tia Maria additions.
I am thinking I may try the wheat free version first, but I may end up making both...
Have you tried either or both? Opinions?
Dilemma.
Which one to make?

Love the idea of no wheat, almonds, Tia Maria. Hugh's recipe will be hard to beat, but that one might just do it.
Look forward to hearing your verdict.
