Instructions:
-
Prepare the Beetroots:
- Wash the beetroots and the stalks thoroughly under cold running water to remove any dirt.
- Trim the most bottom part of the beet, leaving the stalks and upper leaves intact.
-
Boil the Beetroots:
- In a large pot, boil the beetroots for 35-45 minutes, or until tender. The cooking time may vary depending on the size of the beetroots.
- Once cooked, allow the beetroots to cool in their own water.
-
Peel and Slice:
- Once the beetroots are cool enough to handle, peel off the skin and cut them into rounds or quarters, as per your preference.
- Cut the stems into half or thirds, depending on their length.
-
Dress the Salad:
- Place the sliced beetroots and stems in a large salad bowl.
- Drizzle olive oil and vinegar over the beetroots.
- Sprinkle salt to taste.
- Optionally, add minced garlic for extra flavor.
- Add 1-2 tablespoons of the water used for boiling the beetroots to the salad.
- Gently toss the salad to ensure the dressing coats all the ingredients evenly.
-
Serve and Enjoy:
- Your vibrant and flavorful Patzaria Salata (Beet Salad) is ready to be served.
- This salad pairs wonderfully with fried or broiled fish, adding a colorful and nutritious element to your meal.
Tips:
- For added convenience, you can roast the beetroots instead of boiling them. Simply wrap them in foil and roast in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for about 45-60 minutes, or until tender.
- To enhance the flavor profile of the salad, consider adding fresh herbs like parsley or dill.
- This salad can be prepared in advance and stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. The flavors tend to meld together even more, making it even more delicious.
- Feel free to adjust the quantities of olive oil, vinegar, and garlic according to your personal taste preferences.
- If you prefer a creamier texture, you can crumble some feta cheese over the salad before serving.
