11. Serve the beetroot tops on a serving plate, with the roasted baby beetroots on top. Drizzle the chive oil around the plate and garnish with the sliced cooked chicken thigh.
If you have a microwave cook the scrubbed beetroot still in its skin and covered in water until it is soft - much depends on the size. Tennis ball size would take about 12 mins, full power.
If not microwave - boil in saucepan.
When cool peel skin off (its will rub off with fingers) and enjoy.
Throw it out, but that may just be me, I don't like anything that has anything to do with Beets.
throw straight in the bin! horrid food, makes me vomit.
Just don't eat it - it turns your poo red
Boil it and then pour vinegar over it when you've finished
get an arts council grant and put on a show called
beetroot ! the passions of a gardener, in the fresh fancy of bloom,
in a theatre
the show consists of you getting the beetroot and singing songs to them,
whilst chopping them up to make a salad
you wont be able to do many performances
however your show will be better than 95 % of the stuff, on stage in the west end,
i would make pickled beets then put boiled eggs in the pickled beets and have pickled eggs..
when you have boiled it and skinned it, via a saucepan of boiling water, or via microwave.
Leave to cool. I personally like it sliced and with vinegar, its makes fabulous sandwiches!
Stain es everything it touches though, so be careful.
And yes it does colour your poos, so don't panic the next day lol!
boil it remove the skin and then eat as a veg with onions and a little garlic
put it in a sandwich with cheese

Okay honey try this:- you have already been told how to cook & cool the beet, in prior answers so I won't go through that again.chop the beet into cubes, make your fav salad, i.e. Rocket, baby spinach cos lettuce, fresh toms, spring onions, anything you fancy, add the chopped beets and some cubes of feta cheese, toss in french dressing and eat with warm crusty bread. Gorgeous ! enjoy
wash it and boil it with skin on.
I like to boil them and just have it with butter and salt, but a good idea is to have it in a chucky Russian style soup/stew with chicken, leeks, potato, peppers, and carrots. put some sourcreme on top. Yum.
