Fall season is such a fun time of the year with all the abundance of seasonal foods. Beets are one such food. After recently going to a local farmer's market, one of my friends was stumped about what to do with beets. So, I shared some recipes and thought I'd share another recipe with my favorite readers here...
Beets are tasty either raw or cooked. Having a natural sweetness, you can make them into either savory or sweet dishes. And, no special technique is needed to enjoy these colder-temperature foods.
When purchasing beets, look for firm bulbs and green leaves with red spines. The spines are the center portion of the leaf. Cut off the greens and use them in fresh greens salads for extra tanginess and nutrition.
Here's an easy and tasty way to get accustomed to eating pure beets:
Herbed Beets
1 large beet
¼ t Italian seasoning
Cut off the greens and save for later use. Peel the beet. Cut the beet into wedges or slice into desired thickness.
Use a Dutch oven and fill with about 2” of water. Place a steamer basket into the Dutch oven. Place the beets onto the steamer basket in the Dutch oven. Cover and bring to a boil. Steam for about 5-8 minutes. Remove the cover and poke the beet with a fork to test for doneness. When the fork can easily go into the beet, remove the pan from the heat.
Remove beets from the steamer and place onto serving dish. Sprinkle with Italian seasoning to your taste. Or, just eat the beets plain without seasoning.
Enjoy!
