HOW TO COOK FRESH BEET?
Our recipe for this hummus calls for Cooked Beetroot. I do buy vacuum packed beetroot whenever I am pressed for time. These are easily available in grocery stores.
To cook fresh beetroot, there are two ways to do it – Either pressure cook your beetroot in pressure cooker instant pot or bake it in the oven
HOW TO COOK BEETROOT IN INSTANT POT?
Instant Pot cooks the beetroot really fast. Its simple and so easy to work with.
Pour 1 cup of water into the inner pot of the Instant Pot and place the trivet.
Place the beetroot on the trivet.
Secure the lid and turn the valve from venting to sealing.
Pressure Cook HIGH FOR 20 MINUTES and NPR.
Remove the beetroot from the Instant Pot, allow it cool.
Transfer to a chopping board and peel.
HOW TO COOK BEETROOT IN THE OVEN?
Preheat the oven to 200 C. Wrap the beetroot in aluminium foil and place it in a baking sheet.
Cook for 45-50 minutes until throughly cooked. Allow the beets to cool down. Peel the beet and slice.

It is difficult for us as well as them… I didn’t have much trouble with my elder one as she moved from playschool to junior school and now to upper primary… but the younger one, though she loves school, prefers having me at home and taking care of all her never-ending needs and demands. 🙂 The beetroot hummus is a lovely idea, love the addition of walnuts…
Hope your little one settles down soon. Its so hard for everyone either big or small to adjust to new environment having left the previous comfort zone. I am sure she will be fine in the coming weeks.
Beetroot Hummus looks amazing and sounds a great dip for parties or to serve it for family nights
