Directions for cooking beetroot

1. Brush beetroots under current water.
2. Place them in your pressure cooker’s steamer basket. (For a 6 Quart pressure cooker I add 1-2 cups of water (250 ml).
3. Close pressure cooker and secure the lid.
4. Bring to high pressure for 6 minutes.
5. Switch off heat and let pressure drop off of its own accord. This can take up to 15 minutes in my case. (Never open the lid while the cooker is still under pressure)

Directions for beet salad preparation

1. In the meanwhile, cut onions and prepare the Balsamic vinaigrette (mix vinegar, olive oil, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.)
2. When veggies are just cool enough to handle, use your hands to push the skins using rubber gloves.
3. Use a large mixing bowl and a box grater for cutting the beets.
4. Add onions, caraway, dressing.
5. Toss gently.
6. Sprinkle with salt (optionally)
7. Garnish with herbs.
