Royal beetroot is an original appetizer that always turns out tasty, satisfying, and also very healthy. For its preparation, it is worth using vegetables that are not large in size, as they are the sweetest in taste. In order not to spend a lot of time cooking, it is better to bake beets in advance in the oven or boil them in water on a gas stove.
In addition to beets, other ingredients such as prunes and walnuts are also used. It is thanks to them that the finished dish turns out to be very original and unique in taste. Garlic is also added, but it only makes the beets “royal” with a slight hint of spiciness. In the classic version, hard cheese should also be added to the above ingredients, however, you can safely not use it.
