roasted beet salad with goat cheese and walnuts
A bulbous root in shape, the usually deep-red (or golden) roots of garden beets can be boiled, roasted or steamed. I also just recently learned that the large jar of weird-looking red worms I saw in my refrigerator while growing up was actually borscht,which is a beet soup, a popular dish in Eastern Europe. To steam a beet, you will want to first peel and cut it into small chunks, then steam. You can boil the beet with its skin on and remove the skin once it’s done and cooled. But my favorite way to is roasting them.
