FRESH FRIED BEETS W/BALSAMIC DRIZZLE

Steps:

• 1. I boiled my beets for about 20 minutes, until tender. Drain and let cool until can handle. ( you could use canned beets, but fresh is best.) In my iron skillet over medium heat, I added my bacon fat - after hot, add the onion and garlic - stirring frequently so not to burn, just until tender.
• 2. Add the sliced beets, not overlapping, as you want them all to get a browning. Add desired kosher salt and pepper. Cook on one side for about 4 - 5 minutes, then turn and brown the other side. ( I just moved the onions and garlic to one side of pan, and occasionally stir so didn't burn on bottom, could remove if you want, while beets are browning.)
• 3. Once beets are browned mix with the onions and garlic - Plate, and sprinkle with a little more salt & pepper - drizzle with desired amount of balsamic and enjoy! I may have used 1 tsp of balsamic, not a lot, as I didn't want it to take over the flavor of the beets...I love the beets made this way...I hope you do as well...

BEET HOME FRIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Place the beets in the center of a large foil sheet. Drizzle with the oil and vinegar. Place a second large foil sheet on top of the beets, crimping the edges together to form an airtight pocket. Roast in the oven for 2 hours.
• When the beets are ready, peel them using a kitchen towel. If roasted correctly, the skin should slide right off. Cut the beets into 1-inch cubes and allow them to chill.
• Heat soybean oil in a large pan or deep-fryer to 375 degrees F.
• Toss the beets in the cornstarch until covered, adding more cornstarch as needed. Fry in 2-cup batches, until the outer cornstarch layer becomes crispy.
• Serve each batch with 1/4 cup mayonnaise. Garnish with shichimi togarashi and green onions.

BALSAMIC ROASTED BEET SALAD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
• Wrap the beets individually in aluminum foil and place them on a sheet pan. Roast them for 50 minutes to 1 hour, depending on their size, until a small sharp knife inserted in the middle indicates that they are tender. Unwrap each beet and set aside for 10 minutes, until cool enough to handle. Peel the beets with a small, sharp knife over a piece of parchment paper to prevent staining your cutting board.
• Meanwhile, whisk together the vinegar, olive oil, mustard, 2 teaspoons salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper and set aside. While the beets are still warm, cut each one in half and then each half into 4 to 6 wedges and place them in a large mixing bowl. As you're cutting the beets, toss them with half of the vinaigrette (warm beets absorb more vinaigrette), 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Taste for seasonings.
• Place the arugula in a separate bowl and toss it with enough vinaigrette to moisten. Put the arugula on a serving platter and then arrange the beets, almonds, and goat cheese on top. Drizzle with additional vinaigrette, if desired, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and serve warm or at room temperature.

BALSAMIC-GLAZED BEETS

Steps:

• In a large saucepan cover beets with salted water by 1 inch. Simmer beets, covered, 35 to 45 minutes, or until tender, and drain in a colander. Cool beets until they can be handled and slip off skins and stems. Cut beets lengthwise into wedges. Beets may be prepared up to this point 2 days ahead and chilled, covered. Bring beets to room temperature before proceeding.
• In a large skillet stir together vinegar, syrup or honey, and oil and add beets. Cook beet mixture with salt and pepper to taste over moderate heat, stirring, until heated through and coated well. Sprinkle about half of thyme over beets and toss gently.
• Serve beets sprinkled with remaining thyme.

ROASTED SLICED BEETS WITH FRESH CHEESE AND ALMONDS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350. In a saucepan, melt the duck fat.
• Line 2 sheet pans with parchment or wax paper. Lay beets in a single layer, brush them with fat and sprinkle them with 1 teaspoon salt. Flip beets, brush other side with fat and sprinkle with another teaspoon salt. Roast for 18 to 20 minutes, turning halfway through, until beets are tender but not soft, with a bit of bite. Cool.
• Meanwhile, spread the almonds on a sheet pan and toast at 350 for 10 minutes, or until lightly browned. Toss hot almonds with 2 teaspoons grapeseed oil and 1 teaspoon salt, then let cool on the pan. Coarsely chop.
• Place the minced shallot in a small bowl and add vinegar, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a pinch of sugar. Let rest for 15 minutes. (This helps mellow the raw heat of the shallot.) Finely chop the parsley and tarragon together and mix with the 2 tablespoons grapeseed oil. (The recipe can be made to this point up to 4 hours ahead).
• To assemble, divide the beets on plates, mixing colors to make multicolored patterns. Add herb mixture to shallot mixture and stir, then sprinkle over beets. Scatter chopped almonds over the beets. Place a dollop of fresh cheese in the center of each plate and serve.

FRIED BEETS

• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add beets and cook uncovered until slightly tender, about 20 minutes. Drain, rinse, and cut ends from each beet.
• Place beets in a saucepan with about 2 inches of water. Cover saucepan and bring water to a boil; cook beets until tender, about 20 minutes. Remove beets from water and immediately immerse in a bowl of ice water to cool. Pull peels off the beets. Slice beets into 1/4-inch-thick slices.
• Heat butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat; fry beets, flipping occasionally, until lightly blackened, about 20 minutes. Season beets with salt and pepper.

FRIED BEETS

Steps:

• Melt butter in non-stick frying pan.
• Add butter, onions, salt and pepper.
• Fry on med-low heat until onions are translucent because beets are already cooked.
• NOTE: To cook beets, trim them leaving approximately 1 1/2 inch stem. Place in large pot with enough cold water to cover, add 1/2 tsp salt. Bring to a boil, then lower heat and simmer until tender. Cooking time depends on how large the beets are. Drain, wearing rubber kitchen gloves, remove skin. Cool. Slice for above recipe.
