Sounds delicous thanks


I like this one too. Love beets. I am Russian and we eat a lot of beets. These come with a unique sauce. I'll definitely try this! Looks so preatty, too!


I adore beets and to top them with Skordalia (so delicious) makes me sooo hungry. What a delightful dish and I love your serving suggestions as well. I love fried squid and seafood so this will be appearing at my house very soon. It's also very beautiful. Thanks so much! :) Vickie


This sounds amazing! I awoke to the culinary possibilities of beets only a few years ago, and I love to learn new ways to enjoy them. Thanks for sharing, I'll be trying this soon.


This looks delicious.I've never seen a Greek recipe for beets before.
