Method:

Wash and slice all vegetables. Place in a pot, season with salt and pepper according to taste. Add vinegar, butter and just enough water to keep the bottom of the pot covered and prevent the vegetables from catching. Cook slowly for 45-60 minutes or until the beetroot is completely soft.

Cook's Tip: To maintain a consistent low temperature and prevent the contents from burning or sticking, use a SimmerMat™ heat diffuser between the element and the pot during the simmering process.

Sauce
Mix the flour with the sour cream then stir in the sugar. Stir the sauce in with the cooked vegetables, and cook for a further 10 minutes.

Serving
Serve as a side dish to any main course. Serves 4-6.
