Beets are truly beneficial for consumption! Today, we’ve prepared a delightful and nutritious beet rice dish using these wonderful beets. Enjoy a healthy meal with this visually appealing and health-boosting beet rice!
Ingredients
- 1 beet (medium size)
- 3 servings of rice (approx. 3 cups)
- 1/2 corn cob’s worth of cooked corn kernels
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare your electric pressure cooker for cooking the delicious beet rice. Thoroughly peel the vibrant beet, then julienne it into thick strips. This size will ensure a pleasant texture in the rice. The key is to maximize the beet’s nutrients and color.
Step 2
Rinse the rice clean and place it in the rice cooker. Use slightly less water than you normally would for cooking rice. Pre-measuring the water allows the flavors to meld beautifully. Add the prepared sweet corn kernels to the rice cooker as well; cooking the rice with corn will add a delightful chewiness and sweetness, making your beet rice even more enjoyable.
Step 3
Add the julienned beet (1 beet) to the rice cooker and begin the cooking process. Using an electric pressure cooker will result in perfectly cooked, fluffy grains, and the beet’s subtle color will beautifully infuse the entire pot of rice.
Step 4
Voila! Your wonderfully appetizing beet rice is ready. The deep red of the beets, white rice, and yellow corn create a festive and visually stunning dish, reminiscent of a celebratory meal. Savor this healthy and aromatic beet rice for a truly special dining experience!
