In the latest episode of My Kitchen Rules (MKR), contestants Michael and Rielli showcased their culinary skills with an innovative dish: a beetroot and feta cheesecake accompanied by onion chutney and beetroot chips. The episode, which aired on October 15, 2023, captivated audiences with its unique flavor combination and visual presentation.
Ingredients for a Culinary Masterpiece
Michael and Rielli’s dish featured an array of fresh ingredients, carefully selected to create a balance of flavors. The cheesecake base included 115g of parmesan, 150g of plain flour, and 90g of cold butter. To enhance the taste, they incorporated ground black pepper and fresh dill sprigs for garnish.
The cheesecake filling was made from 200g of Danish feta, 100g of cream cheese, and three large eggs. They also included 200g of cooked beetroot for a vibrant color and flavor, complemented by the zesty addition of lemon juice and zest.
Creating the Onion Chutney
For the onion chutney, Michael and Rielli used two large onions, sliced thinly, along with a crushed garlic clove. The chutney’s sweetness came from two tablespoons of brown sugar and a splash of balsamic vinegar. The combination of these ingredients created a rich, tangy topping that perfectly complemented the creamy cheesecake.
The preparation also involved making beetroot chips by thinly slicing the beetroot and deep-frying it in vegetable oil until crisp. This added a delightful crunch to the dish, enhancing the overall texture and presentation.
