Reader recipe: Pressure cooker beetroot

Beetroot can take an hour or more to cook and it can be messy, Anne White says, but her
recipe makes it easy.

Ingredients

1 ¼ kgs	Beetroot, approximately 6 (Main)
½ tsp	Salt
½ tsp	Freshly ground black pepper
1 cup	Water

Directions

1. Trim leaves from beetroot (careful not to cut into beet). Rinse to remove any dirt. Season with salt and pepper.
2. Place on a rack in the pressure cooker, add water and cook for 25 minutes on high.
3. Release pressure either naturally or by release valve. Remove from cooker, cool a few minutes then carefully (because they will be hot) rub off skins and remove the root.
4. Serve as you wish, sliced/quartered etc, as a side dish, in a salad etc. A good topping is crumbled blue cheese.
