frogtox Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 I roasted a bunch of beets last weekend... too many, I forget I don't like them *that* much. I want to eat them tonight with some chicken breast. Tonight is pizza night for the family, and I really want these beets to be worth missing out. What's your favorite way to dress them up?

laura_juggles Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 With salad greens, some pecans or walnuts, orange supremes if you're feeling fancy, and a really yummy vinaigrette My favorite way to eat beets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTNan Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 If you can get your hands on some white balsamic vinegar, whisk it with freshly squeezed juice from an orange or tangerine (you can add olive oil too, if you want, but I think the flavor interferes, and the white balsamic has a nice consistency anyway) and drizzle that over top. A few walnuts for crunch and fat are a great addition. Now I want beets... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MTNan Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 Oh, and if you REALLY roasted too many... freeze some of them. They do fine in the freezer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators ladyshanny Posted January 8, 2016 Administrators Share Posted January 8, 2016 I'm with you on not loving beets....but thinking I do until I make them and then, meh. If you can't eat them all, chop them up and freeze them as MTNan says and then throw them in things like soup or stew near the end of the cooking time. Or if they are larger roasted pieces you could grate them and throw them on a salad or in an omelette. Sorry, I can't think of a way that would make them SO good that your pizza eating compatriots would be jealous of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeadowLily Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 Me neither. I think they taste like liver. Shudder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators ultrarunnergirl Posted January 8, 2016 Moderators Share Posted January 8, 2016 Best way is to dice, drizzle with melted coconut oil and orange juice, sprinkle with salt and roast. Then serve over nice greens (or just eat). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators ShannonM816 Posted January 8, 2016 Moderators Share Posted January 8, 2016 Personally, I love this Belly Dance Beet Salad recipe -- although I'm not sure it's quite up there with pizza. Maybe for next pizza night, look into something like Meatza if you really love the flavors of pizza, or treat yourself to a nice steak or something else that is your very favorite food.

Love the idea of freezing them! Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
