So I obviously had some beets leftover from the other recipe. I also cooked too much quinoa. I need to make something else! With almost all the same ingredients, let me sjow you how you can transform this into a totally new dish.
- 1 lb beets
- 1 small onion, finely sliced
- 2 garlic cloves, finely minced
- 1/4 cup parsley, chopped
- 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tsp dried herbs, whatever you like (optional)
Cook the beets by steaming them. Never peel the beets. And never boil them. We like it when the beets are still a bit crunchy. You can even bake them in the oven. They come out even sweeter. Once cooked, you can peel the skin off. Personally, I leave it on. It's only better for you! And PLEASE! Don't do like many out there and wear gloves while cooking or using beets. It's only food and won't kill you. Like my mom would say: "Stop being a princess!" LOL
In a bowl, mix the onion with the garlic, parsley, balsamic vinegar, olive oil, herbs, salt and pepper. Let it sit for about 15 minutes.
Then add in the beets and mix well. Now you can either eat it as is. Or do like me and add the leftover quinoa. Try it! It's so, so good!!!
