It’s hard to imagine herring under a fur coat or vinaigrette without beets.
The brown root vegetable is considered an important ingredient in the above-mentioned salads.
But sometimes the taste of the component disappoints gourmets. During cooking, the vegetable may lose its bright taste and become watery.
Therefore, beets should not be kept in boiling water. The expert of the online publication Belnovosti in the field of cooking, cook, fourth-category baker Yulia Arkhipova recommends thermally processing the vegetable differently.
How to Properly Prepare Beets for Salad
You need to remove the stalk from the vegetable, pierce it in many places with a toothpick, and then “dress” the root vegetable in foil.
In this form, the beets should be placed in the oven.
Heat treatment of vegetables should last at least 40 minutes at a temperature of 180 degrees.
It may take longer, especially if the root vegetable is very large.
When baked, beets retain their juice, and therefore their bright taste. A salad with such an ingredient will be incredibly appetizing.
And it’s also healthy, because baked beets contain many more important components than boiled ones.
Earlier, gourmets were told how to cook cabbage rolls without meat.
