Vegan Beet Sliders Recipe, Beetroot Sliders

I was inspired by this recipe when I saw this in Guy’s DDD show of Gatsby’s diner in Sacramento, California a long long time back. I have very minimally adapted the recipe. The beets are very meaty and have a textural bite to it. I have been making beet sliders ever since and it makes for a perfect brunch or a snack for parties.
Here is how to make it.

I cook the beets with a little salt. Peel the skin of the beetroot using a vegetable peeler. Cut off both the ends. Cut the beetroot into 1/4 inch thick slices and toss them in a pressure cooker. Sprinkle some salt and add in quarter cup of water. Cook for 2 whistles and remove from heat. Wait for the pressure to settle naturally.
Alternatively, you can steam the beetroot with some salt for fifteen minutes. Set aside.

We will make a scallion mayo to go with the sliders. Take a bowl and add in the mayo, scallions / spring onions (only the green part), ketchup, black pepper and hot sauce. Mix well. Scallion Mayo is done!

Take a pan and sprinkle it with olive oil. Place the boiled beetroot and roast the beetroot and thinly sliced onions until the onions start to brown. Roast on both sides –  a minute on each side. Set aside. Toast the buns too!

Now assembling!
Take a toasted bun and add in a layer of scallion mayo, top it with a slice of beetroot, onion and again top it with a little scallion mayo. Its done.

No one can beet the slider!
