Thinly slice 4 medium-sized raw beetroot. Melt 1 tablespoon butter and 1 teaspoon sugar in the pan, add the beetroot.
Add some salt and water. Put the lid on the pan. Please stir more often so that it does not burn. Possibly add water - but not too much - and stir again and again.
Let it stew for about 10 minutes - you have to try - I like it firm to the bite. Then remove the lid and reduce the liquid while stirring. The beetroot is glazed.
If you like, you can add balsamic cream. That gives the final whistle.
