Do you know how to make vinaigrette? Surely, many will say that this is a stupid question, since this vegetable dish has been around for decades and everyone knows how to cook it. Another thing is vinaigrette in a slow cooker, and even when the vegetables for the salad are not boiled in their peels, as in the classic version, but steamed and already chopped. Using the same principle, vinaigrette is prepared in a double boiler.

I would like to talk about the advantages of this method of preparing vegetables. The main plus is that everything is steamed. With this heat treatment, all ingredients retain maximum nutrients. Note the color of the beets; it hardly changes after steaming. After all, vinaigrette is a bright salad, which is why this fact is so important. Another important plus is that all the ingredients are already chopped. Practical but busy people will especially appreciate this, because vegetables can be chopped into vinaigrette in the evening and even frozen. The next day all that remains is to season the salad with vegetable oil.

The only disadvantage, in my opinion, is that the beets need to be loaded before the other components, as they have the longest cooking time.

In any case, the method is interesting and worthy of attention!

It doesn’t matter which multicooker you use to prepare the vinaigrette, Panasonic, Redmond, Polaris or Supra. The temperature during steaming is the same almost everywhere, so the cooking time does not depend on power.

For a healthy vegetable salad you will need

Ingredients:

• Raw beets (medium size) – 2 pieces,
• Carrots (raw) – 2 pieces,
• Potatoes – 3 tubers,
• Pickled or pickled cucumbers – 2 pieces,
• Sauerkraut – 200 grams,
• Onion – 1 head,
• Canned green peas - 1 can,
• Salt and spices to taste,
• Ready mustard - optional
• Sunflower oil for salad dressing,
• Fresh herbs if desired.

Cooking process:

Let's start by washing and peeling all the fresh vegetables. The first thing we will go into the multi-cooker is beets; we will cut them into small cubes, the way we are used to seeing this root vegetable in the classic version of vinaigrette. Pour water (3-4 multi-cups) into the multicooker bowl, place the tray for steaming and place the chopped beets on it. After closing the lid of the multicooker, select the “Steam” program and set the time to 10 minutes.

During this time, you need to prepare the remaining vegetables: carrots, potatoes. We cut them into the same cube as the beets. After 10 minutes, open the lid, move the beets to the side, and add fresh cubes of carrots and potatoes to its “neighbors”. Close the lid again and cook the vegetables on the “Steam” program for another half hour.

Boiled vegetables need to be cooled a little and only then mixed with the rest of the prepared ingredients.

Place chopped cucumbers (cut them into the same cubes as all vegetables), onions, sauerkraut, and canned peas into a deep cup.

Add salt and spices to the salad to taste; you can recommend ground black or red pepper as a spice. Mustard in the dressing is at your discretion.

Season the vinaigrette with sunflower oil, it is advisable to use unrefined oil, it will add a special aroma and taste.

How to cook beets in a slow cooker before the New Year? This is the vegetable that takes the most time to cook. But it’s just before the holidays that we prepare the most salads with beets: herring under a fur coat, and vinaigrette, and beets with garlic and nuts...

It is very convenient to do this with the help of our kitchen assistant. This article will help you cook beets in a slow cooker the right way. There are several ways to cook beets in a slow cooker, depending on how in a hurry you are. The main thing is that your vegetables still contain all the important nutrients after cooking!

Ingredients:

• 1 kg beets;
• water;
• multicooker with steam container.

Cooking process:

Extinguishing program

Most often I cook beets in the traditional way - boil them in water.
To do this, you need to wash large root vegetables, trim the tail and tops away from the beets themselves (the short tail may not be cut off) and place the vegetables in a multi-pan.
Next, fill the beets with cold water so that the water covers the vegetables two fingers above and turn on the “Stew” mode for 3 hours.
Half an hour after the start of the program, add a teaspoon of salt to the pan.
When the vegetables are ready, remove them from the water and let them cool completely so you can safely peel them. After cleaning, the boiled vegetables are ready for the salad!

Steam cooking program

Sometimes you need to boil vegetables such as potatoes, carrots or beets for a salad or other dish.
If you want to cook all the vegetables together, select the “Steam” program.
Prepare all vegetables of approximately the same size - preferably medium-sized ones. Don't brush them, just wash them with water.
Pour two glasses of water into the pan, set the steam container and place the vegetables in it.
Turn on the “Steam” program for 50 minutes. After finishing the program, rinse the vegetables in cold water (this will make it easier to separate the skins) and let them cool.
Peel your vegetables and make a salad!

Baking (Frying) program

Another good way to cook beets in a slow cooker for salad is to bake them in foil in a slow cooker.
For this method, also choose medium-sized root vegetables, rinse them in water, blot them with a napkin and do not cut off the tops and tail too close to the beets themselves.
Place vegetables on foil and seal on all sides. Grease the pan with oil, place a foil bag in the pan and turn on the “Bake” program for 1 hour.

• If you need to cook several types of vegetables, it is better to boil them separately (except for steaming), otherwise they will lose color and taste.
• Also, the boiling times of different vegetables, different types and sizes are not equal. Therefore, select vegetables of approximately the same size for any type of cooking.
• For salads, it is better to cook vegetables with their skins on; it helps prevent the loss of important nutrients.
• Do not leave boiled vegetables in water for a long time after they are ready, otherwise they will become tasteless.
• The larger the vegetable, the less nutrients it will lose when boiling. Therefore, when choosing the “Stewing” method, take larger vegetables.
• Before the New Year, it is better to boil beets in advance, 2-3 days before the holiday. In fact, it can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a week.
