Beetroot home

Cookinero 14 December 2022

Hot summer is the perfect time to cook and taste homemade beetroot. It is slightly different from the traditional ones, at least in that fresh tomato puree is added to it. It is worth noting that such a move is quite justified: it makes the texture of the dish very pleasant, velvety, and the taste is quite refined and soft. Well, the rest of the ingredients do not cause questions: all the same cucumbers, radishes, beets and greens! Beetroot is seasoned with homemade sour cream mixed with yolk. It turns out very tasty, try it!
