I used to have a great recipe for beets, but I can't find it :-( It involved a little chopped onions, some oatmeal and copious amounts of... peanut butter. Make into balls, fry. I know it sounds weird but it was perfectly balanced out. Of course, now I don't know the amounts :-( Feel like experimenting? ;-) A couple of days ago I placed a recipe called "Beets and their greens". Maybe that is to your liking. T. |

Of course, now I don't know the amounts :-( Feel > like experimenting? ;-) Hmm, that does sound odd but also intriquing. Maybe worth experimenting with. I have to say that beets are not among my favorite vegetables. There are only two occasions that I can remember actually appreciating beets. The first was as a dinner guest at the home of some Polish friends. They served borcht as a first course that was truely incredible. The second was at a restaurant where a beet reduction sauce was served as a condiment for grilled salmon (many years ago). As I write this, I realize that the borcht and beet reduction sauce are very nearly the same thing. Both were made with white wine. Maybe I'll search for an authentic borcht recipe and try making that.... > A couple of days ago I placed a recipe called "Beets and their greens". > Maybe that is to your liking. Thanks, I saw that. Unfortunately, these beets came without their greens and so that recipe is out of the question. |

Anyone have any good ideas what to do > with beets aside from borcht? Beet Subji Vegetables - Beetroot - INGREDIENTS * 4-5 beets * 2-3 t of oil * 1/2 cup of peanuts, coarsely powdered * 1/2 t of mustard seeds * 1/2 t of chilli powder and / or 2-3 red chillies (vary by tolerance!) * Salt to taste METHOD Grate the beets and set them aside. Heat the oil in a frying pan, add the mustard seeds, and wait until they start to sputter. Throw in the red chillies (if any) and fold in the greated beets. When the beets are about half done, fold in the peanut powder and chilli powder (if any) and cook until done. Stir well to prevent sticking and burning at the bottom. Serve with chapatis and/or pilaf. |

But I, like you, don't really like beets and I prefer dishes were they are blended in with some other prominent taste. White wine, you say. That sounds good. In the meantime, Michael posted a recipe with... peanuts. Apparently somebody else liked that combination :-) T. |

How about this:
Grate som beetroot and some carrots into a salad bowl. Add chopped celery, fennel seeds, raisins (or sultanas), sunflower seeds, fresh herbs and juice of freshly squeezed lime, lemon or lemon+orange. |

If you're a juicer: add beets when you juice carrots for a different, sweet taste, and a little more color! Grill beets. Pickle beets. |

Juice them. I often throw a couple beets in with carrots, celery, and spinach. As for recipes, I like them pickled overnight (or over a few nights) and thrown into salads or by themselves. They're also nice roasted. Here are a couple recipes from Food Network's "Good Eats" program: http://tinyurl.com/6smyv |
