Marinated Beet

Directions

1. 1
   Wash and scrub the beets under cold running water. Place them in a saucepan with the vinegar, salt and water and bring to the boil.
2. 2
   Reduce the heat, cover then pan and simmer for about 11/4 hours until the beets are tender. Meanwhile, combine all the marinade ingredients in a bowl and set aside.
3. 3
   Once the beets are cooked, drain, place on a cloth and pat dry. Remove the skins with the help of the cloth.
4. 4
   Cut into slices, place in the marinade and mix well. Leave for a day before serving. The beets will keep for several days in a covered container in the fridge but should be brought to room temperature before serving.
