   Put the cooked vegetables in a saucepan, add vegetable oil and a third of vinegar (vinegar must be added so that the beetroot retains its color during stewing), mix and put the pan with vegetables on fire. When the vegetables let the juice, pour in the water, mix. Simmer for about 15 minutes on medium heat, stirring occasionally so that the vegetables do not burn to the bottom and do not spoil the taste of the workpiece.
