Prepare the Vegetables
Start by peeling the carrots and beetroots. Then, finely chop the onion and grate the carrots and beetroots. By preparing the vegetables in this way, you ensure that they cook evenly and soak up all the amazing flavors you’re about to introduce.
Cook the Vegetables
Warm a generous drizzle of olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until it becomes translucent, creating a perfect base for your salad that offers a subtle sweetness and depth of flavor.
Enhance the Flavor
Once the onions are ready, add the grated carrots and beetroots to the pan. Season with salt, black pepper, and a pinch of dried garlic to enhance the natural flavors of the vegetables. Stir in the tablespoon of ketchup and half a teaspoon of sugar to balance the acidity and bring out the sweetness.
Let It Simmer
To prevent the vegetables from sticking, add a little water to the pan. Cover it and let everything simmer over low heat for about 20-25 minutes. This gentle cooking method allows the vegetables to soften and blend together beautifully.
