Re: cooking beetroot takes me so long!

I use my pressure cooker to cook beetroot, takes just a few minutes.

I'm another who roasts them, takes about two hours but I do it when I'm cooking a fruit cake so ovens on anyway.

Not tried them roasted, Julie, do you leave the skins on while they cook?

Yuk - too many places insist on putting a slice of beetroot in a burger here (not Maccas) hate the taste, hate the juice. Always ask them not to.

GET FERMENTING !

Just like making delicious saurkraut (which is just fermented cabbage) you can equally ferment beetroot or just about any other vegetable. The natural fermentation makes the produce much softer but usually with a little crunch left too and it's absolutely packed with healthy nutrients, probiotics and so on.



All you need to do this is a standard Kilner Jar and a special lid for it. You can buy the lids from:

Thanks for the Borscht recipe ST - I love the idea of adding vodka to a soup!
