The Veggie Alphabet Challenge {week 3}

It's been three weeks since we started the Veggie Alphabet Challenge and we are loving it! how are you liking it? Our family has been enjoying searching for new vegetables to try and we have let our creative juices flow. Last week the letter was "B" and so we decided to try Beets.

I know beets can be included in salads and some main dishes, however we boiled them and then peeled them and cut them into slices and served as a side to our meals. I also snacked on them when I felt a little hungry.



INGREDIENTS:

Bunch of fresh beets
Water

PREPARATION:

1.- Cut off stems and wash thoroughly to remove all the dirt -keep in mind beets grow underground.

2.- Place the beets inside a large enough saucepan to fit them and pour water into saucepan. Boil at medium heat.

3.- When beets feel soft take them out of the water and using a table knife to peel and holding beet in place with a fork. Allow cooling off before enjoying.

You can either slice or chop the beet or even grate it. I prefer enjoying it straight out of the refrigerator so I put in plastic zip top bags in the refrigerator and then serve.
