Five-Minute Beets

[aargnzarf]

If you are looking for a way to cook beets that is a little less cooking time intensive, try this out. It takes a little more work in the prep department, but isn't too bad. The recipe is very flexible.

from Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone:

4 beets, about 1 lb
1 tablespoon butter
salt and freshly milled pepper
lemon juice or vinegar to taste
2 tablespoons chopped parsley, tarragon, dill, or other herb

Grate the beets into coarse shreds. Melt the butter in a skillet, add the beets, and toss them with 1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper to taste. Add 1/4 cup water, then cover the pan and cook over medium heat until the beets are tender. Remove the lid and raise the heat to boil off any excess water. Taste for salt, season with a little lemon juice or vinegar-basalmic or red wine is good-and toss with the herb. If you don't mind the shocking color, you can stir in a tablespoon of yogurt or sour cream, always a good tasting addition to beets.

Just remember, whatever you do. DO NOT look down after going to the bathroom.
