Simple, fast, without tiring waiting and dirty dishes! Minimal cooking time and no dirty dishes. The main thing is to choose the right beet.
Prepare small root vegetables. No matter how cool it is, five small beets will be ready faster than one huge "Gigantella" beet. Therefore, it is better to leave large vegetables in the store. Wash the beets thoroughly under running water. We have not yet cut the ends on both sides. Prepare a roasting sleeve and a pair of special clamps, if provided.
With the help of a knife, pierce the beet along the entire perimeter in several places. This is necessary to speed up cooking.
Pack the beets in a bag and tighten the ends on both sides with clamps. If they are not included, just tie the knots tighter. At the top of the bag, make several through holes without touching the bottom of the bag. If this is not done, the bag may eventually burst with a deafening pop from the large amount of steam inside.
Place the bag directly on the glass tray of the microwave and cook for two minutes at 800 watts.
Then take a break from cooking for about a minute to let the oven cool down a bit. Then turn the oven back on for two minutes. And again take a break for a minute.
You can tell if the beets are ready or not by piercing them with a knife. The cooking process usually takes 8 minutes, but the cooking time may vary depending on the size and number of root vegetables.
When the beets are ready, cut the package with a knife. Be careful: the bag is full of hot steam, do not burn your hands. The beets must cool completely, after which they are ready for cleaning and further work.
Beetroot prepared in this way does not differ at all from the one boiled in water. Same taste, same texture. You can serve it simply as a side dish or prepare a salad.
Bon appetit!
