Love beetroot, such a bind to cook.
Read of a thread about micowaving it. A bit of water, a glass jug, 4 minutes. Lovely beetroot. Problem solved no mess.
Also very good roasted with a variety of veg in a little olive oil and garlic wrapped in tin foil. ;)
I do love them roasted. But I do not what to run the oven everytime I want one small beedroot.
Ah yes, just the one would be going to overkill by putting on the oven.
Never tried the microwave method. Will give it a go tho'.
I usually cook more than one at a time.
Pressure cooking them is good too. It takes about 8 mins or so for large ones.
I pack a layer in my slow cooker with about 1/2 inch of water,about 3-4 hours depending on size.
