Beet Greens - How To Cook Fresh Beet Greens
Please don't throw away those fresh beet greens when cooking fresh beets.
Cook the beet greens and enjoy a delicious and nutritious dish just like
your grandparents grew up with. This is a very simple and
definitely delicious way to cook fresh beet greens. In fact, my husband says
it is the only way!
Oven-Roasted Fresh Beets
It is easy to love fresh beets, and not just for
their outstanding nutritional advantages. Roasting them seems to enhance their
sweet nature. Roasting is the easiest way to cook
beets. The skins will slip right off after cooking.
Pickled Whole Beets
This recipe is from my mother, Dorothy
Hagerman. My mother used to make these every year when fresh beets were in
the garden.
Refrigerator Pickled Beets
Since
I, personally, don't like to take the time to process and can vegetables, I always want
to either refrigerate or freeze them. This is a very easy and delicious way
to make pickled beets. My husband loves them!
Pickled Beets and Eggs
This
recipe and photo were shared with me by Karen Calanchini of Redding,
California. Karen says that this is an old Portuguese recipe that
her grandparents and mother used to make when fresh beets were in the garden.
They took fresh beets from the garden and whatever amount they gathered they
processed. There really is no actual recipe, as you use how many beets you have
harvested.
Roasted Beet Bread Pudding
This was an interesting
experiment with using roasted beets. I had an over-abundance of beets to use this
year that I had roasted them in my oven. Now, what to do with all these roasted
beets? When I came upon this recipe, I just had to try it and, of course, I
couldn't just make the recipe as it was written, but had to experiment! My
husband really likes it and I hope you will also.
Roasted Beets with Blue Cheese and Pecans
From
the recipe files of Robert
Hammond, chef and owner of
The Kitchen at Honeyman Creek Farm
in Warren, Oregon. Robert says, "I’ve had more people tell me that
they don’t like beets. Well, that was until they taste roasted beets. Roasting
beets give them a deep, sweet taste that can’t be accomplished in any other
fashion. Serve these beets either as a side dish or a salad."
