  • Peel the carrots and beets and grate them on the fine holes of a grater. Put the grated vegetables in a heavy-bottomed pot and add the vegetable oil, salt, sugar, and any spices you like (garlic is optional). Set it over the heat and warm it up, stirring; once the released juices come to a boil, turn the heat to its lowest setting and simmer for about an hour. At the end, stir in the vinegar and, if needed, a little more sugar and salt. Serve this salad warm or chilled. To put it up for winter, pack it hot into sterilized jars and seal them airtight.
