Pickled Beetroot
Beetroot is a versatile ingredient, full of nutrients and with a sweet taste, that can be used in numerous dishes. We start by washing the beetroot well under a stream of cold water, ensuring that we remove any traces of dirt or impurities. It is important to wash it carefully, as its thin skin can retain dirt particles. After cleaning the beetroot, we place it in a baking tray, which we can line with aluminum foil to facilitate later cleaning. We put it in the preheated oven at 180 degrees Celsius and let it bake for about 60-90 minutes, depending on the size of the root. The beetroot is ready when it becomes soft inside; we can check this by inserting a fork into it. Once the beetroot is baked, we take it out of the oven and let it cool slightly. When it is cool enough to handle, we peel the skin using a knife or simply with our fingers, which should be protected, as the beetroot juice can stain. After we have peeled all the pieces, we grate the beetroot, obtaining a fine and even texture. In a large bowl, we add the grated beetroot and season to taste with salt, sugar, and vinegar. It is important to taste the mixture and adjust the quantities according to personal preferences; some may prefer a more sour taste, while others may opt for a sweeter note. We mix the ingredients well, ensuring that the beetroot absorbs all the flavors. Once we have obtained a homogeneous mixture, we can start the preservation process. We prepare the sterilized jars, which should be completely dry to prevent bacterial growth. We fill each jar with the beetroot mixture, leaving a little space at the top, and seal them tightly. These jars can be stored in the refrigerator or in a cool, dark place, where they will keep for a few weeks. Also, for a spicier variant, we can mix some of the beetroot with horseradish cream, adding an extra flavor and a touch of heat, perfect for accompanying meat dishes or served as a side dish alongside a fresh salad. This simple yet delicious recipe will bring a splash of color and flavor to our plate!
