This week in food - Beets and Rhubarb
2008-05-05 12:19:00 It is out with the old and in with the new here. Out (hopefully) with the beets that are still sitting in my fridge from winter. I generally hate beets, although we got a ton of them from our CSA this winter. I’m always trying to figure out what to do with ...

Pork tenderloin with roasted beets and salsify
2008-04-30 00:03:00 A quick and easy dinner is just what a Monday night calls for. My favorite way to cook pork tenderloin is in an obscenely hot oven (500°) for about 10 minutes or until the internal temp in the thickest part is 140°. But that requires either a clean oven or the doors and windows wide ...
Sanguine Salad (Roasted Beets, Blood Oranges, and Pomegranate)
2008-02-19 13:44:00 I made this last week as part of dinner for Valentine’s Day because, although it is red, it is comprised of a variety of components that are all a deep, bloody shade of red – perfect for a dinner made by someone who hates Valentine’s Day! This salad is stunning for the senses: visually, it’s an arresting amalgamation of the deep reddish-pink of roasted beets, the juicy maroon of blood oranges, and the radiant ruby of the pomegranate seeds; on your tastebuds, the combination of earthy, sweet, tangy, tart, and acidic works wonderfully. It’s a dish with looks that could kill and a taste that thrills the palate – an awesome combination for Valentine’s Day or any day of the year.

Roasted Beets, Turnips, and Onions
2008-01-26 21:12:00 Roasting vegetables causes them to be much more intensely flavored than boiling, frying or even steaming. The sugars found naturally in the produce begin to caramelize and the result is pure D. heaven in your mouth. The other day I did a roast chicken and pushed the pan of vegetables in alongside whent here was about ...

Pink Lemons & Golden Beets
2008-01-23 18:00:00 In the midst of my cold, a friend dropped by with a goodie bag full of some beautiful produce from Central Market in Houston: an assortment of baby squash, a bunch of golden beets, and pink lemons (bless you, Alva).Before I get to the beets, a few words about the pink lemons: I had never seen or heard of them before, so I was excited to give them a try. They are beautiful when cut, revealing a bright pink interior. The scent was the same as most lemons, but with perhaps a slightly floral quality.I wasn?t sure how to best get a proper taste (sucking a cut half straight up didn?t jump to mind), so I squeezed the juice and mixed it with a bit of powdered sugar; first I dunked my finger for an unfettered taste, and then drizzled some over two madeleines. The floral notes were more pronounced when mixed with the sugar; I really liked it, but I can see that it might be too much in some recipes. It was perfect in the icing drizzle on the otherwise plain vanilla madeleines.I grated some of ...
Oven Roasted Beets
2008-01-22 02:08:00 I was so excited to get my big box of produce yesterday and couldn't wait to get cooking! Unfortunately with as busy as we are I had to wait until this afternoon. Tonight was a karate night so I made the beets this afternoon and figured I would just heat them later. A couple of days ago I was looking at another blog The Left-Over Queen and Jenn had made a roasted beet salad. I so wanted to try it! But due to a cold snap last week the tops of the beets were a little messed up so I decided just to skip that part and just roast them following her directions. I ended up serving them at room temperature as a side to the pot roast that we were having. I can honestly tell you that these were the best beets that I have ever had! I don't know if it was the roasting in olive oil or the freshness of the beets but they were delicious. I was actually sad that I had only bought one bunch...guess I have an excuse to go back now!Oven Roasted Beets (from Jenn the Left-Over Queen - Roasted...

25 Facts About Beets
2007-12-30 02:10:00 Beets (beta vulgaris) are a member of the order of flowering plants called Caryophyllales, which also includes bougainvillea, cacti, amaranth, carnations, spinach, and venus fly traps. Modern beets are derived from wild sea beets that originated around the coasts of Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. Around 800 BC, an Assyrian text describes beets growing in the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, one of the wonders of the ancient world. Beets were an important plant for both the ancient Greeks and Romans. Beets of this period were white or black rather than red. The Roman name for the beet plant was "beta" while the Greeks referred to it as "teutlion." At first, the Greeks used just the leaves of the plant, both medicinally and as a culinary herb. The Romans used the leaves as a culinary herb and as a medicine and they also used the beetroot as medicine before the Greeks began doing so. By the 3rd century AD, the Romans had begun using the beetroot as food rather than just medi...
