Guest guest Posted June 12, 2008 Report Share Posted June 12, 2008 I love the golden beets just a touch more. & nbsp; maybe because they are so pretty sliced. I'm a beet lover!

I scrub with those beets with a plastic scubbie and rinse. Add to boiling water and cook until tender. Then I drain the water and cover with ice water and slip those skins right off. Then I add fresh water to your pot and bring it to a boil. Slice your beets to desired size and drop in the boiling water. If cooking the beet greens add them(washed and chopped up) at this point, along with a tsp of cooking oil and a little salt. Cook just about 10 minutes at a low simmer, covered..... . So incredibly good tasting and good for you. No gritty taste and fast to make. Judy - BANFUR3 (AT) aol (DOT) com Thursday, June 12, 2008 8:02 PM Re: [vegetarian_ group] Re: ahhh, beets? I have found that beets do not " bled " as much if you wash, scrub the dirt off and boil with the skins on. When they are cooked, the skins will slip right off and you can slice, or dice.

Guest guest Posted June 12, 2008 Report Share Posted June 12, 2008 LOL Sharon I did this too Donna Sent via BlackBerry from T-Mobile Sharon Zakhour <sharon.zakhour Thu, 12 Jun 2008 22:27:18 Re: beets golden vs red LOL! Yes, I love golden beets, but don't make the mistake I did!! I bought a bunch of gold beets and a bunch of red beets. I steamed both and then marinated them together. Oh, I thought, won't that be a beautiful presentation?! Red and gold beets! Well, you can imagine what happened. As they marinated the red migrated -- it completely overwhelmed the gold beets so it looked like a bowl of ordinary red beets. :-) But I also enjoy buying golden beets, rainbow chard, red carrots, green or yellow cauliflower. It's all fun!
