Cut the ends off the beets and place them in a pressure cooker for 15 to 20 minutes to soften them.

While the beets are cooking, grate 1/4 cup of carrots and prepare other ingredients.

Add 1/2 chopped onion to the salad mixture.

After 20 minutes, release the pressure from the cooker and check if the beets are tender by inserting a knife.

Shock the beets in ice water to cool them quickly, then peel them with your hands.

Cut the beets into cubes, similar to how you would chop an onion, but make larger cuts for the salad.

Place the cubed beets in a bowl, add the grated carrots, chopped onion, a pinch of salt and pepper, juice from 1 or 2 limes, and Greek yogurt to taste.

Mix the salad and add chopped parsley for freshness, then set aside.

In a skillet, heat oil and sauté 3 minced garlic cloves until fragrant, but not burnt.

Add 1/2 chopped onion, 1/4 carrot, 1 stalk of celery, and 1/2 bell pepper to the skillet and cook until softened.

Season the mixture with salt, black pepper, cumin, and paprika, then cook until well combined.

Add 800g of ground beef to the skillet, seasoning it with salt and black pepper, and a cooking sauce.

Stir the beef to incorporate the flavors from the sautéed vegetables and cook until browned and fragrant.

Once the beef is cooked, add 2 blended tomatoes with a little water and 1 tablespoon of tomato paste, stirring well.

Cook until the beef absorbs the tomato and the mixture is thick but creamy, then finish with chopped parsley.
