Simply prepared and deliciously seasoned baby beets and carrots is one of my favorite light meals/snack.
What you need:
5 to 6 small sized beetroots
10 to 15 baby carrots
A saucepan fitted with steamer basket to cook them
1 tsp of ghee, salt and pepper to season
Put enough water in a saucepan so that it doesn’t touch the steamer basket when placed. Bring water to boil. Place washed and whole beetroots and carrots in a single layer in the steamer. Place this steamer in pan and cover it tightly with a lid so that steam won’t escape. Steam them until tender for about 15 to 20 minutes. Remove the steamer from the pot and let stand until cool enough to handle, then peel the beetroots and cut them into quarters.
In a pan, melt one tsp of ghee on medium heat. To it add the quartered beetroots and carrots. Sprinkle some salt and pepper and toss them once to combine. Remove from heat, squeeze some limejuice and serve immediately.
