Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium beetroots
- 1 medium red onion
- 0.5 cup apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon mustard seeds
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
Wash the beetroots thoroughly to remove any dirt. Trim the tops and roots, then peel them using a vegetable peeler.
Grate the beetroots using a box grater or food processor with a grating attachment. Set aside.
Finely dice the red onion.
In a medium-sized saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and sauté for about 5 minutes or until the onion becomes soft and translucent.
Add the mustard seeds and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until they start to pop.
Stir in the grated beetroots, apple cider vinegar, honey, ground coriander, salt, and black pepper.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the saucepan with a lid.
Cook the relish on low heat for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the beetroots are tender and the liquid has reduced to a thick consistency.
Taste and adjust the seasonings if necessary.
Allow the relish to cool completely before transferring it to a sterilized jar or airtight container.
Store the beetroot relish in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Enjoy it as a topping for sandwiches, salads, or as a condiment with grilled meats.
