Beets

[Anonymous]

Any good recipe suggestions to use up a bunch of beets?

I like them roasted in the oven with olive oil and salt and pepper

Beet soup!! Mmmm love beets.

+1. Roast them in foil with EVOO for @35 min, depending on size (@425F). The skin will rub off with a paper towel after cooking. You can also serve them roasted cold as a salad with chèvre.

Grate them raw into a salad.

I also like them roasted, but this beet rosti recipe by Mark Bittman is awesome:

Probably not easy or quick, but I love pickled beets. As someone who hates raw tomatoes, I am always thrilled when I get a beet salad. Especially when it has goat cheese with it.

I have a recipe for a beet cake that my family really likes. It is similar to carrot cake, only you use shredded beets. I cannot find it right now or I would post it. There are also a lot of chocolate beet cake recipes online.

If you have a mandolin slicer (or that feature on a good processor), you can slice them thinly, drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle a little sea salt on them and bake them until dry. Beet chips.

Please, please post the recipe. (And you never answered b/f, does it turn poop purplish after you eat the cake. I'm asking in all seriousness.) Thanks.

Borsch, you can make it without cabbage if you don't care for it.

I wash beets, add a bit of water, cover and steam them in the microwave. While they're still warm I slide off the skins, then slice up the beets and dress with salt, pepper, and vinegar. They taste a bit like my mom's Harvard beets. If you eat them cold the next day they taste like pickled beets.

Thanks for all the suggestions. Everything sounds delicious and I can't wait to try out some of these recipes.
