Can we talk about beets?
Yes, I know the sugar content is high... but what about all the NOMMY stuff sprouting from the top??
I had bought a small bunch (4 bulbs) of fresh beets. Unfortunately, they stayed in my fridge too long before I could get to them. I ended up cutting the tops off and trashing them. The actual beets came out great.This is what I did:
Wash. Rinse. Repeat. Peel. Cut. Put in pan. Drizzle with olive oil. Salt n pepper. I had some balsamic raspberry dressing.... I drizzled that on as well.
Bake. 350 degrees. For a long time. Add water to keep from scorching and add steam to the oven. Keep poking till soft.
TODAY, I cleaned up the 2 full bunches of new beets. Bulbs are in the oven. Greens have been triple rinsed. (buggers are FULL of sand)
I cut the bright red stalks off at the base of the leaves. Tore into smaller pieces, and they are now awaiting a nice saute for later.
So, how do you prepare your beets?
