Remember my canned beets?
Blog Post #9 describes where I got this recipe and how to make it. I opened a jar a few days ago because I thought it was about time I did something with them. I'm giving one jar away to Grandma Irma, she's curious. And that leaves me with just two jars. These. Are. Awesome. I believe that with this recipe, I have cured most of my issues with mixing sweet and savory. Oh, wow, these are good! Since I only have two jars, I didn't want to make another soup (although all I would've had to do is puree the two jars and heat it up, instant, fantastic soup!) because it would've used them all up, I wanted to try a few different things. The first thing I did was just eat a couple slices. Yum. The second thing I did was mash a bunch up with a boiled egg (I got home late and was starving). It tasted amazing but looked extremely unappetizing. Hot pink eggs? Very weird. The third thing I did was this:
I sliced a boiled egg...laid it out on a plate in a line, then placed beet slices on top and sprinkled with Feta cheese. Absolutely delicious. (I boil a dozen eggs at a time so when I come home and I'm really hungry and I don't want to eat something really horrible for me I eat a boiled egg). I read that potato salad with beets is delicious. I bet it is. But hot pink potato salad is just too strange to eat, so...this is the next best thing! Enjoy! xo, AB
