braised whole baby beets
Prep Time15 minutes mins
Total Time15 minutes mins
Ingredients
- ¼ cup salted butter
- 2 pounds baby beets with their greens (washed well and patted dry)
- 2 cups bone broth
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint
- 2 tablespoons raw apple cider vinegar
Instructions
- Melt butter in a skillet over a moderate flame. When it froths, neatly place beet thinnings into the skillet so that all the root tips rest in one direct and the greens in the other. Sear in butter until the greens are wilted. Pour two cups chicken broth or chicken stock into the skillet, cover, and simmer until roots become tender – about ten minutes.
- Turn off the heat and transfer the beets to a serving dish using tongs. For best presentation, lay the beets together so that all the beetroots rest at one end of the serving dish with the greens resting at the other. Sprinkle with fresh chopped mint and dress with cider vinegar or four thieves vinegar.

You might consider "Square foot Gardening." I haven't had any space to garden since I was a kid until this year so I'm excited to try out some of his methods and see how I can get them to work. He claims that putting them at full grown spacing means you waste less, and don't have to thin! 🙂
