One of our customers, Judy E, doesn't like beets. I know some of you may agree with her. However, this recipe is one that she likes and is a great way to get those beet vitamins into your diet. It comes from the Food Network. Give it a try-even if you don't like beets. Ingredients

3 tablespoons shallots, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon honey
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
6 medium beets, cooked and quartered

Roasting Vegetables

1 comment Posted by Fresh Fork Market

Beets-3 Ways

2 comments Posted by Fresh Fork Market

Okay. Beets. Love them or hate them. Since you are getting them in your bag anyhow, keep trying and maybe you will learn to love them if you don't already. I never like them as a kid. We only had them canned, and I hated them. The first few times I cooked them myself, I still hated them. I cook and eat most peels on veggies (potatoes, etc) but found out that if I peel my beets they have a

No comments Posted by Fresh Fork Market

Yesterday I made an interesting salad. First, I sliced some fennel, brushed with olive oil, and roasted in a 325 degree oven until tender. Next I roasted some beets.

Beets

For those who attend the Beet, Beet class at the Grovewood, here is you opportunity to put those recipes and techniques to good use. My often repeated message is the same: “Don’t fail to steam or braise the beet greens. Serve the greens warm with the sliced beets on top. Serve them cold with a few drops of vinegar and cold sliced beets on top.
