And ...Ooo, purple mashed beet-potatoes sounds fun! And we also add thinly sliced beets to salads (in fact you can do it with a potato peeler and use the beets as the "lettuce". <BR/><BR/>Okay, my favorite is to cut the stems off the beets (save the leaves aside) and cook them slowly (for 2 hours) at 250. Once baked, peel them, slice them, and set aside in a heated serving dish.<BR/><BR/>Wash the leaves and set in a heavy pan. Simmer on lowest heat until wilted. Remove to a strainer and press out juices. Chop leaves coarsely and mix with sliced beets and plenty of butter.<BR/><BR/>I have also pickled beets by lacto-fermentation, and regularly make beet kvass, but that is a tonic (for info on that, see my food blog).Marianne Elixirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16394688588187240026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4663265962597445841.post-62729327240509312932008-10-18T10:03:00.000-07:002008-10-18T10:03:00.000-07:00Heeee I liked your little joke!
