Despite the fact that most root vegetables are well kept fresh during the winter, many make preparations such as beet salad for the winter. Firstly, it is very convenient, since in winter it will be enough to open the jar, and not bother with boiling root vegetables and preparing salads. Secondly, canned salads are very tasty.

There are many options for winter beet salad recipes. But in order for the workpiece to be well stored and turn out tasty, you need to know the intricacies of its preparation. Here are the basic cooking principles:

  • for canning, fresh dense beets of a rich burgundy color without dark spots and light veins are suitable;
  • do not use root crops for harvesting that have begun to deteriorate or wither;
  • some recipes use raw beets, and some use pre-cooked beets. Ideally, it is better to bake the beets in the oven in foil or steam them, so vitamins are better preserved;
  • when cooking salad, one should not allow a strong boil of the vegetable mass, since the beets can lose their bright color in this case;
  • to preserve the color of the root crop, it is necessary to use acidic products, therefore, vinegar or lemon juice is almost always included in the recipe for the preparation;
  • the amount of salt and sugar should be adjusted to your liking, since beets can have different levels of sugar, so the amount of seasoning in recipes is approximate;

  • prepare a salad of beets in small jars - 0.5-0.75 or 1 liter. Depending on the recipe, you need to sterilize either the container or the salad itself, already packed in jars. Beetroot salads cooked according to all the rules are perfectly stored at room temperature.

Fun Facts: Beets contain tryptophan, a substance called the mood hormone. And also betaine, a drug used to treat depression.

Recipe 6: beetroot dressing for the winter (step by step)

  • 500 g of cabbage;
  • 5 tomatoes;
  • 2 beets;
  • 2 carrots;
  • 2 onions;
  • 2 sweet peppers;
  • 3 tbsp. l. Sahara;
  • 1.5 tbsp. l. salt;
  • 70 ml of vegetable oil;
  • 100 ml of water;
  • 2 tbsp. l. vinegar.

Go through the vegetables for preparation, select only ripe, strong, whole, without stains and damage. Rinse and clean them.

Cut the onion into small cubes. Another form of cutting is possible, which is familiar to you.

Take white cabbage. Savoy cabbage is used in this recipe for borscht dressing for the winter - it is a little softer and cooks a little faster. Chop the cabbage into thin strips.

Cut the tomatoes into wedges and place in a food processor to make a tomato.

Chop the tomatoes until smooth.

You can use natural tomato juice instead of water and tomato puree. If the tomatoes are homemade, from the garden, then it is better to put a little less sugar - such tomatoes are usually sweetish.

Peel the bell peppers from the seeds and remove the stalk. Cut into arbitrary small pieces.

Peel and grate beets and carrots. You can also cut vegetables into cubes, but in this case you will need to increase the stewing time.

Recipe 7: dressing for beetroot for the winter (with photo)

  • beets - 1.3 kg
  • tomato - 700 gr
  • carrots - 500 gr
  • onions - 500 gr
  • sweet pepper - 400 gr
  • vegetable oil - 200 ml
  • sugar - 80 gr
  • salt - 1.5 tablespoons
  • garlic - 30 gr
  • vinegar 9% - 50 ml
  • citric acid - 0.5 tsp

Here is a set of products for preparing dressing for the winter: beets, carrots, onions, sweet peppers, tomatoes, garlic, vegetable oil, granulated sugar, table salt, 9% table vinegar and citric acid. A little more in detail: pepper will do any color, we take any oil (I have sunflower) refined, that is, odorless, fresh garlic can be replaced with dried (a tablespoon, I think, is enough), we replace table vinegar with wine or apple cider in the same proportions, if% same.

In fact, there is nothing difficult in preparing a dressing: the most laborious thing is to peel and cut vegetables. Undoubtedly, you can choose any convenient method of grinding, but I highly recommend doing it as I write below. Believe me, borscht, in which beets are cut into thin cubes, is many times tastier than the one where vegetables are chopped on a coarse grater. Do not be lazy, then maybe you will say thank you. So, it is most convenient to peel all the vegetables and then weigh them - I indicate the mass in the ingredients in this form. We clean beets, carrots and onions. Remove seeds and inner white veins from peppers. I just wash the tomatoes and leave them alone for now.

To make the process go faster, I advise you to simultaneously cook vegetables in two containers at once. I have a large and deep frying pan (26 centimeters in diameter), as well as a thick-walled pan (4 liters). If you use one pot, it will take more time. So, we will fry all the vegetables, and separately. Pour 100 milliliters of vegetable oil into a frying pan, put on the stove over medium heat - let it heat. Meanwhile, chop the peeled onions into small cubes. Put in hot oil and fry, stirring occasionally, until soft, transparent, and then a beautiful blush and pleasant aroma.

While the onions are fried, grind the bell peppers. I cut it into small cubes, and you can, if you like, into cubes. Pour the remaining 100 milliliters of vegetable oil into a saucepan, heat it up and fry the pepper. Do not forget to stir so as not to burn.

The onion is ready - it has become transparent, soft and slightly reddened. We shift it with a slotted spoon into a separate container so that as much oil as possible remains in the pan - we will fry the carrots on it.

After the onion, the pepper also arrived. You will hear by the smell when it is ready, it will become soft, it will brown a little. We also take it out of the pan with a slotted spoon and transfer it to the onion. Quite a lot of oil will remain in the pan - we will fry the beets in it.

While the onions and peppers were cooking, we quickly chopped the peeled carrots - not just on a coarse grater, but cut into thin strips. Of course, if this is difficult for you, you can not do it - just use a grater. But personally, I like the carrots in this dressing (and then in the borscht) in the form of a thin straw. We send vegetables to a frying pan and fry over medium heat until soft and browned. Stir so as not to burn.

And finally, our main character is the beet! With her, too, not everything is simple - you can't get by with a grater. We will cut the beets into thin cubes. For a long time? Well, yes, not very fast, but it should be so, take my word for it. By the way, if you are still too lazy to cut vegetables the way I recommend, think about the fact that this is not only a tedious and tedious task, but also an excellent practice in cutting food. Can you boast that you own a 5+ knife? Well, here you go - you will improve your skills. We put the beet sticks in a saucepan (there is still enough oil from the pepper) and fry over a fairly high heat for about 10-15 minutes.

Beets take the longest to cook, but, again, the young ones soften much faster than the ones that have already been in the basement or on the store counter for several months. That is why keep an eye on her condition. By the way, in order for the beets to retain their rich color, we need quite a bit of citric acid, which we immediately add to the chopped vegetable. However, it will also play the role of a preservative.

The carrots are ready for dressing - they are almost soft and well browned. Turn off the fire - let it wait in the wings right in the pan.

Depending on the age of the beets, roasting may take a different amount of time. I did not notice, but my young one became quite soft after about 20 minutes.

During this time, I chopped juicy red tomatoes - I just chopped them with a medium cube. To remove the skin or not - decide for yourself. If the skin is tough, make a cross-shaped cut on each tomato (from the side opposite to the stalk) and place the vegetables in boiling water for a minute. After that, we take out the tomatoes and put them in a bowl of ice water - the skin literally slides off by itself. And then we chop the tomatoes and add to the beets. We close the pan with a lid and simmer the vegetables over medium heat for 10-15 minutes, so that the tomatoes partially turn into mashed potatoes and let the juice flow. Do not forget to stir.

Finally, it's time to add the rest of the fried vegetables - onions, carrots and peppers. Mix everything and simmer for 5 minutes under the lid.

At the end, add fresh garlic passed through a press or finely chopped. Let the gas station sweat under the lid for a couple of minutes. We try it for salt and sugar, if necessary, season it to taste. I do not use fresh herbs in the dressing, since I add it to the beetroot itself (at the end of cooking).

Two or three minutes and our fragrant beetroot dressing is ready to be closed for the winter.

Jars with lids must first be sterilized - we do this while the dressing itself is being prepared. Each hostess has her own favorite method, and I do it in a microwave oven - I wash the cans in a soda solution, rinse and pour about 100 ml of cold water into each. I steam it in the microwave at the highest power for 5-7 minutes each. For example, two jars will last 6-8 minutes, and three - 10 minutes. Boil the lids on the stove for about 5 minutes. Place the boiling beetroot dressing in the jars.

We turn the cans upside down and wrap them with a blanket or blanket. In this position, let the workpiece cool completely for the winter. Then we transfer it to the basement or cellar and store it until needed.

In total, from the specified number of products, I get 4 full jars with a capacity of 0.5 liters and another incomplete one. Everything is calculated - an incomplete can will immediately go to prepare borscht for dinner. By the way, one half-liter jar of gas station is quite enough for a 4-liter saucepan (exactly the one that was used in the recipe).

Storage

Store jars of canned beets best of all in the cellar, basement, refrigerator, or on the balcony (the most important thing is to avoid frost!). The sterilized workpieces do not need a refrigerator. They can be stored at temperatures between 0 and 25 degrees for two years. The best storage space is in a dark closet.

Thus, beet harvesting for the winter has several recipes. Which will be the best for you, it is up to you to choose.
