I just love beets and this recipe courtesy of Better Homes and Gardens brings out the sultry ,earthy flavor of this much maligned root vegatable. Give it a try and see how good a healthy dish can taste.
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup dry red wine such as merlot or shiraz, or apple juice shopping list
- 1/2 cup water shopping list
- 1 Tbsp. packed brown sugar shopping list
- 2-1/2 lb. beets, peeled, and cut into bite-size pieces shopping list
- salt and ground black pepper shopping list
- honey (optional) shopping list
- 1 Tbsp. snipped fresh parsley shopping list
- lemon wedges (optional) shopping list
How to make it
- In a large saucepan combine 1/2 cup of the wine, the water, and brown sugar.
- Bring to boiling, stirring to dissolve sugar. Add beets.
- Return to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer, covered, for 45 minutes until beets are tender and can be pierced with a fork, stirring occasionally. Drain.
- Transfer beets to serving bowl. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Splash with remaining 1/4 cup wine.
- Drizzle with honey.
- Sprinkle with parsley.
- Serve with lemon wedges.
- You can avoid staining your hands with beet juice if you wear plastic gloves while peeling and cutting the beets. Trim beet tops or leave tops on.
- That's it! Enjoy!

Wow! This sounds great! For me, beets are kind of a fall-and-winter veggie (unless they're pickled, of course!), but I've saved this recipe to try when it's beet-eatin' season! Yummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!!
