How to make original beet pancakes
The appearance of this simple vegetable appetizer can be misleading to novice cooks. In fact, preparing such a dish yourself is not difficult: it is no less simple than preparing pancakes from potatoes or zucchini. The main thing is to follow the instructions provided. Step-by-step photos will help you correct the process and avoid mistakes.
- The first stage of preparing beet pancakes is preparing the main ingredient. Boiled or baked beets will need to be peeled. The fruits themselves need to be grated on a medium or fine (with “teeth”) grater. You can grind the root vegetables in a blender or pass them through a meat grinder.
- Next you need to deal with the garlic cloves. The cloves will need to be peeled and grated. The resulting fragrant gruel is transferred to the chopped beets. You need to drive an egg into the resulting bright vegetable mixture. The mass is also diluted with semolina and seasoned with salt.
On a note! The resulting vegetable mixture can be diluted with other ingredients. To make the finished pancakes more filling and tasty, you can add potatoes or carrots to them. However, this requirement is not mandatory.
- The next step in preparing original, tasty and incredibly appetizing vegetable pancakes is preparing the vegetable “minced meat”. The preparation obtained from boiled (baked) beets will need to be mixed thoroughly. The mixture should be smooth and homogeneous in consistency. It should be left for half an hour so that the semolina included in the composition swells a little.
- When the beetroot mixture for baking is ready, you can proceed directly to frying the pancakes. To do this, take a frying pan and put it on the stove. Heat the pan and pour a little vegetable oil into it. When it warms up well, you will need to put the beet mass into it. To do this, use a tablespoon. Pancakes should be thoroughly fried on each side.
On a note! A sign that original vegetable baked goods are ready is the formation of an appetizing golden brown crust on both sides.
- All that remains is to transfer the finished beet pancakes to a plate and cool slightly.

The benefits of rye bread. What are the benefits of rye bread?
The composition of rye flour has many beneficial properties. Therefore, all types of rye bread are a real “cocktail” of mineral salts, macro and microelements, vitamins, carbohydrates and fiber. In addition, rye flour is rich in an essential acid for the body - lysine, which is the basis for the construction of protein cells in the human body.
Along with this, the composition of rye bread is replete with vitamins E, PP, A, as well as B vitamins. It also contains one and a half times more iron than wheat bread and 50% more magnesium and potassium. Moreover, rye is rich in a valuable substance - fiber, which helps the body get rid of toxins and waste.
In addition, rye bread is baked without the use of yeast - with thick sourdough. Therefore, regular consumption of this product provides significant assistance in the fight against high cholesterol and poor metabolism.
Frequent use of rye bread in the daily diet is an excellent prevention of diseases of the stomach, intestines, and diabetes. Doctors also widely recommend this bread to people suffering from anemia, loss of strength and low hemoglobin levels.
