SIMPLY STEAMED BEETS RECIPE
4 medium-sized beets (about one pound)
2 teaspoons sherry vinegar
2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
Fresh chopped herbs (dill, parsley, chives, etc.)
Salt and pepper to taste
Scrub beets clean and then place them in a steamer basket and cook for about 30 minutes or until tender all the way through.
Once the beets are cool enough to handle, run them under cold water and rub the skins off.
Cut into small bite-sized pieces. Toss with vinegar and oil and finish with herbs, salt and pepper.
NOTES
Uncooked beets will keep in the fridge for about 14 days. Steamed beets can be stored in an airtight container or zip-top baggie for 3-5 days.

Today I'm bringing it back to the basics and teaching you how to cook beets! My favorite way to cook my beets is to steam them - it's quick, easy, and the least messy cooking technique (IMO!). I hope you enjoy this basic cooking technique for beets and use them in a variety of dishes throughout the week. XO Dani

I cook the beetroots in my pressure cooker. Very easy as well,just 11 minutes. I also do the same as you and add olive oil and apple cider vinegar plus salt and black pepper. Delicious and good for people with high blood pressure as the nitrates in the beetroot relaxes the blood vessels. I love your channel.

In Morocco, we make a very refreshing cold soup with beets. We grate 2 cooked beets and 1 peeled apple on the fine size of the grater, then we add some fresh orange juice to the soup consistency of one's liking and 1 Tablespoon orange blossom water. 1 to 2 tablespoon sugar is optional. We chill the mixture and serve in small soup bowls as a 1st course.

Those is great way go prepare beets but honestly, here you can buy sous vide pre cooked beets that are delicious and spare yourself all the time and trouble, since the preparation process is a mess. Those are just beets, no vinegar, citric acid, nothing that would change the taste, and they are perfectly cooked. You can even buy pre sliced or pre cubed ones for even less effort.

@CleanandDeliciousDani 8 ай бұрын

Try serving them with some type of acid - like vinegar or lemon! that can help to take the edge off of the earthy flavor.
