found some large mature beets at MarketBasket the other day, w/o leaf . they were firm and looking at the cut tops there was some green in there
so I thought they might be fairly fresh, but of course not from these parts.
I left hem on the counter for a few days in a loose bag. when i got around to them there were somewhat soft. bummer i thought.
cut the tops and bottoms off and 1/4'd them
in 'Hip' beets are not even mentioned in the index. shows that their trouble to most people so rarely marketed. however in the
table section in " Hip" it gave this info :
Beets cubed : 8 min high natural release boil, steam, braise
Beets whole, ( s , med, lg ) 15, 20, 25 High, normal release , boil
so I did 8 min, natural release.
done and cooling
as noted elsewhere here, the skin came right off. the beets were on the soft side. Ill slice them up and add them to
a vineger onion garlic 'marinade' and chill
aside from the softness, flavor was excellent. Ill make these again and do them the same day I buy them and drop the time by a minute or so.
they must haves been refrigerated at MB before they were put on display
Im glad they have at least these.
