Comments on: Glorious Beets: Returning a Platter “Motto!” http://reluctantentertainer.com/2010/07/glorious-beets-returning-a-platter-motto/ Sat, 11 Feb 2012 13:03:44 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: peggy http://reluctantentertainer.com/2010/07/glorious-beets-returning-a-platter-motto/#comment-22822 peggy Sat, 31 Jul 2010 00:25:10 +0000 http://reluctantentertainer.com/?p=7355#comment-22822 Sandy, When you took this recipe of beets to the dinner party were they a big hit? I am taking a salad next week and thinking I might add a platter of these on the side. Not everyone likes beets, so wondering if they were 'licked up' or ignored. :) (If I had been invited, I would have ate them!) Sounds like you are having a nice summer. Love keeping track of you thru your blog. LOL Sandy, When you took this recipe of beets to the dinner party were they a big hit?

I grew up eating pickled beets. I like them this way, but have recently been putting them into our breakfast smoothies. Yep, you heard right! :) Along with kefir, fresh and frozen fruits and juices, I add a raw beet. It's the only way my kids will eat them. :) Plus it makes the smoothie a pretty pink. I like your salad recipe. I will have to try that soon. And I'm very interested in trying a Beet Slaw! I've seen so many enticing recipes online. Fantastic platter motto! Maybe that's why it always takes me so long to return one! :-D Beets are soooooo good for you!!!

However, I have to admit, I never make or serve them. Made your black bean salsa today - can't wait to try it tonight! I'm also looking for all foodies to answer some questions on my blog today!

After the beets are roasted in my Demarle Mold, I drizzle the infused oil over them! So yummy~ I take olive oil with fresh garlic and sea salt and let it sit for the day.

I usually just boil them and chop them for salads. I toss them with olive oil, vinegar and seasoning (salt, pepper and garlic powder). Sometimes I just slice them and eat them plain. I saw on a website a recipe for "beet burgers"...hmmmm, not sure about that one. I love beets. I usually just boil them and chop them for salads.

Reading your description about frying them in butter brings back memories and makes my mouth water. I also like the intensified earthiness that roasting them with olive oil, cracked pepper and kosher salt brings. I like to dice them up to add to a salad of fresh greens and goat cheese, too. We pulled our first beets out of the garden last evening - they're on the menu for the weekend. And...I think your platter motto is a great one!

I usually return it with some food item but I have also returned a dish with a book or flowers or some other thing I think the owner would enjoy.
