Cooking Instructions
- 1
Remove the greens from your beets. If they're nice greens, you can cook them like you would chard or collards. Try not to throw them away if you can avoid it.
- 2
In a pot, submerge your beets in water and get the stove on medium. If the water does come to a boil before they're done cooking, cut the heat to a gentle bubble. Root vegetables tend to get kinda water-logged bu a vigorous boiling.
- 3
Now, how do you know when your beets are done?... Well, I can't give you an exact time because nature makes beets of all different sizes. To check if they're done, you'll need a thin, pointy object of some type. If it seems like it's been long enough for the cooking to get to the middle, stab your biggest beet. It should yield readily to the point.
- 4
Then you just strain and rinse them under cold water. The skin should peel off easily by hand.
- 5
Dice the beets to around 1/2" or so.
- 6
Julienne the shiso, not too fine, or it will bind up and get lost. Shuck the walnuts and break them up a bit. Toss it all together.
- 7
Add oil and vinegar and season to your liking with salt and pepper. Just try not to overpower that beet/shiso flavor.

Carrots and Beets Carrots and Beets
If your beets or/and carrots come with tops you just paid for both so cut and set aside the top use them for another recipe. Some people were brought up with beet dishes. Beets are sometimes rejected because of the popular canned pickled beets. Fresh beets according to the way they are prepared are a bit different. This is a great pairing.

Hold on!!! You may say well, I don't like beets. This isn't canned beets, pickled beets, or beet mush. This is fresh, with Parmesan cheese, sour cream, and bacon. Yes a bunch of bacon. -
Savory Pickled Beets Savory Pickled Beets
So many of the recipes for pickled beets out there call for buckets of sugar and spices that are better suited for pies than for pickles in my humble opinion.This recipe goes the tart savory direction with them instead.Substitute dill seeds or even a sprig of fresh dill for the caraway for a tasty variation.#cookingwithyui

Beet Salad Beet Salad
This beet salad is a very different (read: healthier ;) ) version of the beet salad I knew growing up in Newfoundland. It takes a bit of time in terms of prepping your ingredients (mainly the beets and carrots), but it's worth it.This is a great summer salad to serve with a BBQ, or on its own as a lunch. You can adjust the ingredient amounts for lesser portions- this salad serves approximately 6-10 servings if used as a side dish.

Found baby carrots and beets at the farmers market and I needed a tart dish to go with a rich main course so I made these. Really refreshing and can be easily adjusted for both quantity and flavor. P.S. This is a recipe I found on the internet.
