Large red beets are hollowed out and filled with ground meat in this winter recipe. Pomegranate molasses adds a gently tart flavor. Because beets are firm, they take longer to cook in a pressure cooker than standard stuffed vegetables.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Prepare the beets

20 min

Peel the beets and scoop out the centers with a spoon to make room for the filling. Work carefully because they are large.

2

Make the filling

10 min

Knead the ground meat, rice, grated onion, crushed garlic, salt, and black pepper together.

3

Stuff the beets

10 min

Pack the filling firmly into the hollowed beets.

4

Cook in the pressure cooker

45 min

Arrange the beets in the pot. Add the hot water, pomegranate molasses, and melted butter. Close the lid and, after it reaches a boil, cook over low heat for 45 minutes, until the beets are tender. Beets are firm root vegetables and take longer to cook than standard stuffed vegetables.

5

Let the pressure release

15 min

Remove the pot from the heat and wait 15 minutes for the steam to release naturally before opening the lid.

Reminder

Wear gloves when hollowing out the beets; otherwise, they can stain your hands for several days. Allergen: contains dairy (butter).

Pancarlarım oldukça iriydi, tarifte yazan 45 dakika bende yetmedi, düdüklü tencerede ek olarak 15 dakika daha pişirmem gerekti. Boyutu büyükse süreyi buna göre ayarlamak lazım.

Nar ekşim yoktu, yerine limon suyu ve bir tutam şeker kullandım; ekşiliği biraz daha hafif oldu ama pancarın tatlımsı tadıyla yine dengeli bir sonuç çıktı.
