The beet salad is to die for

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make beet salad Finger lickin' good? Prepare the necessary ingredients for this. I take one beet, but a very large one. Instead of one large one, you can take 2-3 small ones. Cut off the leaves and roots of the beets. Rinse it well in running water to remove any dirt. If you have beets from the store, then they have most likely already been washed and all excess has been cut off.

2. STEP 2

   

   The beets need to be boiled. There is no need to clean it before cooking. Place the beets in a saucepan, add water and put on fire. Cook the beets in boiling water until soft. This usually takes 40-60 minutes, depending on its size.

3. STEP 3

   

   Cool the boiled beets and then peel them.

4. STEP 4

   

   Peel the onion and rinse in cold water. Then finely chop the onion. To avoid irritating the mucous membranes of your eyes when cutting onions, rinse the onion and knife with cold water.

5. STEP 5

   

   Pour a little vegetable oil into a hot frying pan and fry the chopped onion for 2-3 minutes over low heat. The onion will become more transparent and softer.

6. STEP 6

   

   While the onion is frying, grate the boiled beets on a coarse grater.

7. STEP 7

   

   Place grated beets into the pan with the fried onions. Add tomato paste. Add salt and spices to taste. Mix everything. Continue frying the beets and onions for another 15 minutes.

8. STEP 8

   

   During this time, excess moisture will evaporate from the beets. Remove the pan from the heat and cool. If desired, you can add a little garlic for flavor.

9. STEP 9

   

   Transfer the finished beet salad to a salad bowl and serve. Bon appetit!

My salad is made from one medium beet and one beet-sized carrot. I cut it into strips with a knife. Simmered for 45 minutes. The beet salad is to die for and lives up to its name. Tasty, simple, interesting. It's delicious even just with bread.

I made a wonderful finger-licking beet salad. It is really very tasty and unusual! I finely chopped the onion and fried it until golden brown. I decided not to boil the beets, but to bake them. I like it better this way, the beets turn out tastier. I grated it on a coarse grater and put it on the onion. I took one spoonful of tomato paste so that it would not overwhelm the taste of the beets themselves. If you like a more tomatoy taste, you can add more. In addition to salt and pepper, I added a pinch of sugar for balance. My beets are not watery, so five minutes of stewing was enough. It turned out just great! The sweet taste of beets complements the fragrant fried onions!
