A salad.

- Boiled beetroots with olive oil, vinegal and little lemon
- Chopped fresh onions
- Greek yogurt, as mush as you like
- a little garlic puree and a dash of olive oil

Toss it all together, serve it cold.

I like my beets warmed gently. I put them in the oven at 475 for five hours, then I lower it to 425 degrees for 3 hours. Beautiful beets!

Fucking YUCK.

The only way I've had them is in fresh-pressed juice mixed with apple or orange. They're actually a little sweet, aren't they? I'm a little nervous to try them by themselves because of their reputation....

Also eating them makes it look like you've shit blood.

Thank me later.

Juice it and make Bloody Mary's with it. You'll never get a hangover no matter how much you drink.

>>6127799
Yeah, they're sweet if you can get them fresh.

my go-to

Its a beet not a beetroot.
Quit saying the root part , you sound retarded.
Its like saying carrot root or potato root.
Stop it.

>>6127394
stewed with lamb. maybe some feta crumbled over it when you eat

oil and balsamic vinegar

I like sliced beetroot in my burgers

>>6129550
Cooked or raw? I strongly dislike them. But i want to give them a try again, since i stayed away from cilantro for years only to find out that it isn't half as bad as i thought. I just wasn't used to the taste.

>>6129531

It's a beetroot, like how strawberries aren't called straws.

>>6129531
>>6129531

ill root ya mum, cunt

They're pretty yummy baked.

>>6127394
Pickle

Place in pot of water to cover, bring to a boil, reduce to simmer until tender. Cool then peel and slice. Combine 3 cloves anise, 1/2 orange juice and zest, 1/3 cup shaved onion, 1/4 cup honey, 2 cups lighter flavored vinegar, 1tsp salt, 3 thin 3/4 inch rounds of peeled fresh ginger, 5 coriander seeds, 1tbs chili flake, 1/2 cup water, and 1/3 cup honey in a pot, boil for 3 minutes, reduce to simmer for 5 minutes. Jar. Pretty good as short term refrigerator pickle, but better as long term sealed store pickle.

>>6129658
meant to delete the 1/4 cup honey
go with 1/3 cup
it's adjusted from an older recipe

Peel/slice/grate and take them to your local public laundromat and put into washing machines.

People don't wear enough pink these days.

Nobody says beetroot except third world idiots.

>>6127394
Borscht.

Roasted with goats cheese.

In salads.

>>6129689
>Nobody says beetroot except third world idiots.
Countries that say "beet".

>>6129689
Get rooted.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beet

My language calls the whole plant a word that's a cognate of 'beet.' Tthe beetroot itself would translate as 'beet's beard.' Well, either that or 'russian carrot' or 'red carrot.'
:^)

I think it's fun.
Most commonly, the root is boiled, sliced and tossed with salt, vinegar and garlic and allowed to cool as a salad.
The greens are sautéed and made into an omelette or something like that.

Do you guys eat the stems and leaves?

>>6127394

You slice that shit up.
And you put it on your burger.

>>6129823

>>6127394
Make a watery juice and add ketchup for a realistic fake blood

>>6127394
I like beetroot with scouse.

>>6127394
Cook them with a ton of butter, put in a salad with goat cheese and some balsamic, or pickle it.

>>6127394
Skin and cube them, chuck 'em in a tray with some crushed garlic cloves, a bit of balsamic vinegar, olive oil, s&p to taste. They make an easy and tasty side dish.

Alternatively, grate your beet and a few carrots. Sweat them in a pan with finely chopped onions, add a dash of lemon juice or a bit of zest. When they're half way there, add about a cup of beef stock and simmer until almost all the liquid boiled away. Cool and spread on toast or make into salad with hard boiled egg wedges, strips of seared beef or pork and a mayo or yogurt dressing.

>>6130938
Oh yeah or do borscht

>>6130939
>chuck 'em in a tray
And of course bake the, I forgot that part.

>>6127394
You could also do a beetroot crumble, as if they were apples. Slice thinly or julienne them, add grated nutmeg, s&p, bits of butter and cover generously with oatmeal or mix the butter with flour until it resembles coarse grainy sand and put that on top.

Beet can substitute for swede in pasties in a cinch.

>>6127394
have you ever blended it with canned tuna? it makes excellent sandwitch filling

and once, i also made a cake with beetroot and chocolate

Herring Salad or Borscht

I've had the best goddamn fruit salad made with beets.
It was honeydew, watermelon, beet, carrot and tossed with lime juice, chamoy, and some peanuts.
Goddamn that was delicious

>>6127394
Made a 'roulade' yesterday that was thin-sliced (cooked) beetroot and goat cheese

pickled is good

also good roasted in a salad

>>6127394
Scallop, beet "carapaccio", microgreens, beet vinaigrette.

>>6127394
Add nitric acid, pour off the solute, let the precipitate dry, makes a moderately ok explosive.

>>6127394
Turn your shit red

>>6135308
what is that scallop crusted with? I rarely see them crusted with things, just seared. and that looks delicious

Russian here, we put that shit in everything, not just in Borscht.
2 famous examples are;
Vinigret, a salad made of potato, carrot, peas, onion, pickles.

Also (lit. translation) "Herring under a fur coat" Herring and onion with a large layer of potato, then thin layer of carrot, then beetroot, covered in mayonaise.

pic related is the Herring

>>6137120
Beetroot's great in a lot of hot dishes, like meat sauces and stuff, what sucks though is that it has a pretty overpowering taste, so you can't really use it to "spice up" anything cause it's so overpowering

>>6130909
I'd rather fast than eat that.

anybody have a favourite borscht recipe?

Baked whole. With sour cream.

Beetroot casserole.
Thinly sliced, layered with cream, leek and garlic - sometimes topped with crumbled goats cheese and baked.

They're great with horseradish.

Straight out of the glass
Pickle replacement in sandwich
With meat and potatoes

>>6137037
I do it a couple different ways, the one above is pistachio flour, pic related is powdered dehydrated citrus peel.

>>6137549
also, roasted beets with goat cheese panna cotta

>>6127394
honestly, just boil them.

Pickled with eggs. hmmm beet flavored pickled eggs. fuck you OP, now I'm hungry.

Freeze them. Then chuck them at minorities and get some real food instead.

>>6137549
Yoink, that idea is now mine.
Also i used to roast them, then cut them into large cubes and pile crumbeld feta ontop. looks good on a plate with a bunch of other shit. And you can use the off cuts for a puree

>>6140237
Yeah here's where i stole the idea. I throw pretty much pic related on as a lamb garnish.

>>6140240
Fuck wrong pic lol
this one

>>6140240
>>6140241
I'm sure we're all a little curious to try it now, though.

>>6140240
Holy shit, that made my morning.

>>6140241
Will gladly trade for that. Also, beets 3 ways: roasted wedges, pickled slices, puree underneath is creamed beet tops.

>>6127799
>their reputation
What the Fuck man

Steam some cubed up peices. Mix with lemon juice, olive oil, taragon and gorgonzola while still warm. Add some slivered almonds and coarsely grate an uncooked beat over too for some crunch.

>>6140240
reminded me of gummy bear scotch cocktail guy

>>6137565

this, they don't need much

when I'm on pantry and I want a snack I take some balsamic vinaigrette, mix it with a little minced garlic, throw in a small handful of crumbled feta cheese, and toss the beets in it

I like to warm my beets gently in the oven. I start at 475 degrees for 5 hours. Then 425 for 3 hours. Mmmm, warmed beets!

burger duh

Literally the only thing I use beetroot for is as a natural coloring for my gravlax.

beet latkes
