Hearty Winter Vegetables Recipe

	Kitchenscientist / All my dishes 2 years ago This dish is perfect for a cold winter night. We like it with game - elk or moose - or alone. The colors are absolutely beautiful and you can use just about any root vegetables you have on hand. This recipe couldn't be any easer! Prep:8m Cook:20m Servings:4	Kitchenscie

Ingredients

1-2 red potatoes

1-2 white potatoes (Yukon Gold is perfect)

1-2 "blue" potatoes (hard to find, but they're so pretty if you can)

2-3 large carrots (I like to use several different colors of carrots)

1 large red beet

1 large golden beet (if you can find them)

butter

lemon juice

sea salt (preferrably the "wet" kind, grey sea salt works well)

Directions

Place a medium-sized pan of water on high heat to boil.

Chop potatoes and beets into wedges 1-2" in size (don't peel).

Cut carrots lengthwise and then cut sticks into 2-3" lengths (carrots hold more nutrients if they're cut lengthwise).

Once the water is boiling, place a steamer basket over it and place vegetables in it in this order: beets on bottom, potatoes next, carrots on top. This will help keep the carrots and potatoes from turning to mush before the beets are tender.

Test with fork occasionally and when they're as tender as you want, remove, sprinkle with just a little splash of lemon juice, put a pat of butter on top and stir it in. Sprinkle with sea salt just before you serve.

This sounds great - love your use of some different veggies! I just recently had multi colored carrots for the first time and they were great. Thanks for the recipe!

I prefered veggies steamed over boiled, but rosted is my fave.

Yes, actually, I'm sure you could just roast this instead of steaming and that would be great, too. I love veggies roasted, too - so much flavor...
