- Preparation: 75 min
- Cooking: 60 min

- Difficulty: Easy
- Diets: Vegan, Dairy-free, Gluten-free, Low carb
Ingredients
- 100 g Beets, raw
- 12 g Horseradish, grated
- 5 g Vinegar, white
- 3 g Sugar
- 0.4 g Salt
Method
- Scrub the beets and boil them whole in their skins for 50-60 minutes until a knife slides in easily.
- Leave to cool, then peel and finely grate them.
- Peel and finely grate the horseradish root (or use ready-grated horseradish); grate it by an open window, as it stings the eyes.
- Mix the beets with the horseradish, vinegar, sugar and salt, tasting and adding more horseradish if you like it fiery.
- Pack into a clean jar and chill for at least 1 hour so the flavours meld; it keeps in the fridge for about a week.
- Serve cold with ham, sausage or boiled eggs; in western Ukraine tsvikli are a fixture of the Easter table.
