Instructions

  1. Clean the beetroot, being careful not to damage the skin or the ends.
  2. Put water in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Carefully place the beetroot in it and simmer for 45-60 minutes, depending on the size.
  3. Rinse the cooked beetroot with cold water. Peel while warm and cut into thin slices.
  4. Put the slices in a suitable container. (I use a small soup tureen with a lid).
  5. Add the onion cut into rings, water, sugar, vinegar and spices and stir well.
  6. It is important that the beetroot is completely covered by the liquid.
  7. Cover and leave to steep in the refrigerator for three days. Season to taste in between, maybe a little more seasoning.
  8. The pickled beetroot can be kept in the refrigerator for a good 10 days.

About Editorial Staff

The Boss Kitchen editorial staff oversees content review, fact-checking, and recipe verification across the site. Published articles pass through the editorial team before going live, ensuring ingredient lists, techniques, cooking times, and nutritional claims hold up in a home kitchen. The team coordinates contributions across the site writers, handles reader corrections, and maintains consistency in measurement conventions, safety guidance, and dietary labeling. Posts under this byline typically represent team-reviewed reference material, site announcements, or editorial roundups rather than individual-author features, and they are held to the same sourcing standards as bylined recipe and product coverage.
