I roasted these, then peeled them for a salad. The beet greens I shaved off the stems and saved for a quick braised vegetable dish later. I don't know how restaurants keep beet colors distinct, though. Once I tossed the beets with some vinegar, everything looked red! I was kind of sad. Any advice? Search This Blog

Pretty Pretty Beets
I think beets are beautiful. They come in so many colors! Flavor-wise, I think the yellow ones are my favorite. The pink and white striped ones can be a little bland, and the deep red ones are too intensely irony to eat a whole plate of. The yellow ones are a perfect level of sweetness. Nine huge ones, each the size of a baseball, for under $4 at the Culver City farmers' market! I roasted these, then peeled them for a salad. The beet greens I shaved off the stems and saved for a quick braised vegetable dish later. I don't know how restaurants keep beet colors distinct, though. Once I tossed the beets with some vinegar, everything looked red! I was kind of sad. Any advice?

They also stain the counters like nothing else! :P Last time I made beet salad it looked like bloody murder after peeling and grating the beets... Next time I get the craving... I'm buying it premade from WF...
