What types of dishes can i make using fresh beets?!
Answers: was given beets from friends garden.
I love preparing them this very simple way...
Place the washed beets into a pot, cover them with water at least an inch over the biggest one. Boil for 30-60 minutes (it really depends on the size) until you can easily stick a fork into each one. Put aside to cool slightly. When cool enough to touch, use your hands to rub off the thin skin. Slice off tops and bottoms, and slice into portions. Cover with balsamic glaze (follows)....
Heat in non-stick pan 2 T olive oil and 1 clove minced garlic. When warm, add 4 T balsamic vinegar and 1T pure honey. Simmer on low stirring occasionally until mixture thickens. Salt and pepper to taste.

This is a delicious salad that I have eaten on the Greek island of Samos.
Cooked beetroot chopped
Crushed garlic
Mayonnaise
Greek yogurt
Chopped walnuts
salt and pepper
Put beetroot, garlic, salt, pepper and half the walnuts in a bowl and carefully mix together. Mix together the yogurt and mayo and spoon on top, then sprinkle on the top the remaining walnut. Delicious
you MEAN BEETS AS IN BEETROOT.
if THEY ARE SMALL AND FRESH. BOIL THEM IN WATER WITH A PINCH OF SALT. THEN MAKE A NICE THICKISH WHITE CHEESE SAUCE. PEEL THE BEETS AFTER THEY ARE COOKED, PUT IN A DISH, AND POUR OVER THE WHITE CHEESE SAUCE. SERVE HOT. VERY NICE, HOPE YOU ENJOY IT.
