Method

Restated from the original video

1. 1

   Put the beets in a pot, cover with salted water and boil until a knife slides in easily, 45-60 min.

2. 2

   Drain and let the beets cool completely, about 30 min. Cooking them the evening before works well.

3. 3

   Toast the walnuts in a dry frying pan over medium heat for 3-4 min, until fragrant. Cool, then chop into small pieces.

4. 4

   Peel the beets and grate them on the coarse side of a grater into a bowl.

5. 5

   Add the garlic, walnuts, mayonnaise and a little salt, then mix well.

6. 6

   Taste. Add more garlic for a sharper bite, or another spoonful of mayonnaise if the beets have soaked it up.

7. 7

   Chill for 30 min, then serve cold.
