Ingredients

  • 1 bunch of beetroot I used organic
  • boiling water
  • 1 pinch salt

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Wash the beetroot and cut off the stems (but avoid cutting into the flesh to avoid leaching of red juices).
  2. Place in slow cooker and add the salt and enough boiling water to cover plus 2cm.
  3. Cook on high for 3 hours or until just tender when pierced with a cocktail stick or skewer.
  4. Drain off the water and allow to cool.
  5. Remove beetroot skins by rubbing off with your thumbs.
  6. Slice and serve.

Notes

  • If making the beetroot ahead of time then don't peel until you need them as they keep better this way.
  • If you want to avoid salt then feel free to leave it out, it's just there to stop the leaching of nutrients into the cooking water.
