ok, so beings that i've been going to the farmer's market regularly, they have some good looking beets. I asked the amish lady how to cook them, and she said boil them. I looked on foodnetwork, and tried a roasted beet recipe. didn't like it. anybody have good beet recipes? other than pickled.

My mom always boiled them and then used butter, S&P

I don't like them pickled, but I do like beet salad - boil or roast then add oil, vinegar, s&P, onion. I also like beets on any kind of salad. (they are good with goat cheese) I hear that the beet greens are good, but I've never tried them.

Beets the heck out of me. :jet:

yeah, the amish lady tried to talk me into getting beet greens. one thing at a time lady....lol.....

Well I eat them raw in salads and also boil them. It really does make them very tender. You can also saute them in a pan - I add chicken broth, but you can use veggie broth or butter. Make sure you peel them and chop them into cubes (like potatoes) if you are cooking them. If the tops are in good shape, you can chop them up and add them to your salads too. I also make borscht, which to me is the best soup ever. You can find half a million recipes for borscht online.

But if you don't like beets - very earthy flavor, you may not like them no matter how you cook them.

Only buy small beets, not huge ones. Add a little cumin to taste, and boil them for a long time until the water boils down and is thick & purple. Yummmmmm..... They are so good.

the best thing to do with beets is to wash them, chop them up, and then feed them to a goat because beets are disgusting and not fit for human consumption :barf: :killingme

Mmmm...I love roasted beets with a little balsamic vinegar and olive oil.

why didn't you listen to the Amish woman? Don't you think she's eaten enough beets in her life to know the best way to prepare them?

Make Beets & Sweets. Peel and cut up beets and sweet potatoes into chunks, toss them with olive oil and salt, roast in the oven at 400 until tender.

You didn't wash them enough.
