Help me . I need recipes.
 
Ok. I really hate beets but hear they are very good for you. I want to learn to like them and be able to include them in my diet.

I have searched for recipes for beets and all i can find are raw beet salad type recipes (never going to fly.) Or cake recipes or recipes involving lots of vinegar.

Yes. i'm picky. :P

So.... does anyone have a good beet recipe that someone who hates beets would like?

Thanks :)

You'll eat your pickled, vinegary beets and you'll like them! :mad:


I've tried this before, and as a hater of beets myself, I can attest to the mildly tolerable taste. Honestly, humanity has not developed sciences potent enough to mitigate the awful flavor of beets.

If you were actually considering starting with fresh beets . . .Cazic have mercy on your soul.

Buy baby beets, they're the best imo! If you can't find babies get the smallest ones you can since they tend to taste better.

I just roast beets in their skins. Cut off the greens and leave the root intact. Coat them lightly with olive oil, S&P and cook @400F for about 45 minutes to 1 hour. They'll pop right out of their skins when done.

I can eat them just like that ^^ though I usually roast some onions along with them because they're great together. Some people think they need butter. A dash of cloves is classic with beets as well. Or you can get fancy and add a little horseradish and sour cream or creme fraiche.

Yeah, we'll be there for dinner!

Should I bring a bottle of red? or white?

I did some searching at my favorite food blog other than cremefraiche.org, and came up with some non-salad recipes that don't look disgusting:
