You can bake beets in foil, for this:

• Thoroughly wash 300 - 400 g of beets with a brush to remove adhering soil and other contaminants.
• Wipe with a towel, remove all moisture.
• Wrap the vegetables in foil, each separately, place on a baking sheet or in a baking dish and send to a hot oven.
• Bake at 200 degrees for about one hour.
• After 40 minutes, remove one beet from the oven, pierce it with a toothpick or fork, if it comes in effortlessly, then the vegetable is ready.
• Remove from the oven, cool and peel.

To quickly cook beets in a pan, you need to do a couple of simple manipulations, namely:

• Rinse thoroughly the root crop.
• Pour cold water and put on a strong fire.
• After boiling, reduce the heat and cook the beets until soft, about 30-40 minutes (check with a toothpick or fork, if it comes in gently, then the vegetable is ready).
• Place the pan under cold water for 15 to 20 minutes.

1. Soak in advance 2 to 3 slices of bread in milk (crumb only). Grate beets on a coarse grater.
   
2. Add one egg, salt, pepper to beetroot to taste.
   
3. Squeeze a couple of cloves of garlic.
   
4. Add 2 tbsp. l semolina and bread soaked in milk. Do not forget to pre-squeeze the bread so that there is no excess liquid.
   
5. Knead the minced meat well until smooth and leave for about ten minutes, so that the semolina swells.
   
6. Wet the minced meat to form medium-sized meatballs and roll in breadcrumbs with wet hands.
   
7. Pour the sunflower oil into the pan, and put the patties on the preheated pan.
   
8. Fry the patties on both sides until golden brown, about 10 minutes on each side.
   

Before serving, beetroot patties can be decorated with greens and pour over sour cream sauce.
