Why this recipe works
Cooked beetroot instead of raw beetroot
The short cooking time does not apply to raw tubers. It is used to cook ready-to-eat beets, for example from an unopened vacuum pack. Acetic acid and sweet sour pickled products alter taste and amount of liquid. The 350 g are weighed after draining. Together with the feta, two small vegetable and cheese portions are created, not complete main meals.

Frequently asked questions

The red plant juice can get to the cheese. This is normal with red beet and no sign of spoiled feta.
It holds soft feta and leaking juice together. The shallow dish must fit into the basket and must not completely block the airflow.
No. There are two small vegetable and cheese portions. Bread, cereals or other components are added separately if necessary.
