Ingredients

  • 4 beet fresh
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • salt to taste
  • black pepper to taste
Optional for salad
  • 1 orange
  • feta cheese
  • parsley chopped

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Fill a large container or pot with water. Attach the sous vide precision cooker and set the temperature to 185ºF/85ºC.
  2. Wash the beets and slice off the ends. Then slice each in half lengthwise. (Remember to protect your cutting board, clothes, and hands.)
  3. Add halved beets into vacuum seal bags or zip-lock bags (I used two bags so that they are not crowded). Drizzle in olive oil, and season with salt and pepper.
  4. Arrange them in a single layer, and vacuum seal the bag. If you use a zip-lock bag, seal it using the “water displacement” technique: seal all but one corner of the bag and slowly place it in the water bath. Make sure everything below the zip-line is covered by water. Then seal the rest of the bag.
  5. Clip a heavy spoon to the edge of the bag to weigh the bag down. Or use a heavy kitchen item to keep the beets completely submerged in the water.
  6. Cook for 3 hours.
  7. When the timer goes off, take the bag out and remove beets from the bag.
  8. Serve on their own as a side dish or dice them and toss in a salad. (I mixed them with orange, chopped parsley and feta cheese. Then season with more salt and pepper).
