BRAISED BEETROOT BATONS
This is a very simple dish — beetroot cooked with onions and garlic, and finished with jalapeño and lemon juice.
I will never understand dishes that don’t pre-cook beetroot, because it takes SO LONG to cook stovetop. So of course I pressure cooked my beets first.
I’ve seen him add jalapeño as a garnish rather than cooked into dishes a few times now, and I wonder if it’s to control the spice. I used indian green chillies and added them to the beets while they braised. The squeeze of lemon balances everything out nicely.
I really wasn’t expecting much here, but if you like beets, this is delicious! I ate it with dal, rice, and fish.
