Having found that beets overwhelm any vegetable soup I looked for expert help when we received beets again in our vegetable coop. I turned to a cookbook by Jamie Oliver that Stephan had before we married and we both found the result so delightful that we ate the whole beet in one meal despite the fact that the rest of the meal was a very tasty hunk of beef. I don’t feel right publishing the recipe in full, but I’ll advertise his cookbook and give you a hint. It’s The Return of the Naked Chef (Kochen für Freunde in German) and the idea is simple: bake the beets in tin foil with a secret green, a bunch of smashed garlic, and a good bit of balsamic vinegar. It’s tender and tasty and goes down easily! Plus, it’s super easy to make. I’m not sure I’ll ever do anything else with my beets again.
I love beets, so I may have to give this a try!

Beets have made me gag since I was a little child, so I may have to give it a try, too!
I love beets - and with vinegar. So let's give it a try when we're there.
As you can imagine, I don't get them often with Mom not liking them.
And I just noticed that with the visit from The Gambia, you have red visit icons from 6 continents simultaneously. Congratulations.
