Beetroot Salad
Last time I tried to cook fresh Beetroot I didn't own a pressure cooker and spent most of one afternoon endlessly boiling and boiling away before vowing to only buy the ready cooked version from now on. This year when the fresh stuff started appearing the shops I thought ah ha I can do what my Mum always did and pressure cook them in slightly less than 5 hours! first couple of times i had to put them back in and re pressurise increasing the total cooking time until I was happy. If you half or quarter the beetroot before or use very small ones you may be able to reduce the cooking time back down. Obviously loads of different things you can do once you have the cooked beetroot, one of my favourite is yogurty (Instant Pot yogurt of course) garlicky dish above which makes a great BBQ side.
Ingredients
4 or 5 Fresh Beetroots
1 or 2 cloves of garlic (depending on preference)
