It's no surprise that I love beets. I really, really love them. I love their earthiness the almost dirty flavor. I love the way they stain my hands when I cut them. I love the big ones as large and solid as a man's heart. I love the baby ones so small and sweet and delicate.
These beets make a nice, easy side dish and the simple flavorings do a lot to bring out the natural flavor and sweetness of the beets.
