Learn how to cook beets with four easy methods like steam, boil, and roast. Healthy dishes can be created using these basic techniques to maximize flavor.

How to Cook Beets

beets (2.5 to 3 inches in size)

vinegar

salt

olive oil (as needed for drizzling)

kosher salt (as needed for seasoning)

black pepper (as needed for seasoning)

black pepper

Trim the tops off the beets, leaving 2-inches of the stem. Wash and dry beets.

In a large pot add water, vinegar, and salt. Add beets, bring water to a boil, and then reduce to a simmer.

Cook until fork tender, about 30 minutes. Peel once cooled.

Boiled Beets

Trim the tops off the beets. Wash and srub dirt from the beets and dry well.

Add enough water to the bottom of a pot so that it does not rise above the steamer basket. Add basket and beets into the pot. Cover and cook on high, water should be steaming.

Steam until beets are fork-tender, about 30 minutes. Allow beets to cool and peel. Beets can also be peeled before steaming if desired.

Steamed Beets

Set the oven rack in the center position. Preheat oven to 400°F. Trim the tops off the beets, leaving 1/2-inch of the stem. Wash and scrub dirt from the beets and dry well.

Place beets on a piece of foil large enough to make a pouch. Drizzle with enough olive oil to coat the beets then sprinkle with salt and pepper. Wrap the beets tightly in the foil and place on a sheet tray.

Roast until fork-tender, about 40 to 60 minutes, time will vary depending on the size of the beets. Check every 20 minutes for doneness. Allow beets to cool and peel.

Whole Roasted Beets

Set the oven rack in the center position. Preheat oven to 400°F.

Wash and peel beets. Cut into 1/2 to 3/4-inch thick wedges.

In a medium-sized bowl toss together the beets, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Place on a foil-lined sheet pan. Roast until beets are fork-tender, about 25 to 30 minutes.

Sliced Roasted Beets

In a large bowl, toss the arugula with 1 1/2 tablespoons vinegar and 1 tablespoon olive oil; season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a platter.  In the same

Cookware Items Used In This Recipe:8 Quart Stock Pot

Get Well Soup

Chicken Breasts, bone-in, skin-on,

Water

Carrots, chopped medium

Parsnips, chopped medium

Celery Ribs, chopped medium

Yellow Onion, chopped small

Bay Leaf

tbsps Fresh Parsley, minced

Heat the 8 Quart Stock Pot over medium heat until it’s hot enough that water droplets bead across the surface, about 2 minutes.

Place the chicken breasts skin-side down in the hot, dry pot and cook until the chicken comes away from the bottom of the pan with no resistance and the skin is nicely browned, about 6 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a plate and set aside.

Add the water, carrots, parsnips, celery, onion, thyme, 3/4 teaspoon salt and bay leaf. Stir to combine, scraping up any browned bits. Remove and discard the chicken skin and return the breasts to the pot.

Cover and cook over medium heat until steam begins to escape from under the lid, about 5 minutes.

Spin the lid to engage the Vapor Seal then immediately reduce the heat to low. Cook until the chicken is cooked&amp;nbsp;through and the vegetables are tender, about 45 minutes. (After about 10 minutes give the lid a quick spin. If it spins easily, leave it alone until it’s done. If not, increase the heat to re-engage the Vapor Seal then reduce the heat medium-low and continue cooking as directed.)

Remove the pot from the heat. Transfer the chicken to a plate and set aside until cool enough to handle. Pull the meat from the bones and shred or cut into bite-sized pieces. Stir the chicken and parsley into the soup and season with salt if needed. Heat over low heat until the chicken is warmed through. Serve.

Black Urad dal Dosa

Idli Rice

Whole Black Urad dal

Gingelly Oil

Fenugreek Seeds

Wash and soak the 4 cups of Idli rice and one cup of black urad dal for about 7 - 8hours. Soak a tsp of fenugreek seeds in a small bowl for 2 hours.

Clean the wet grinder and add the washed dal along with fenugreek seeds. Grind dal for half an hour by sprinkling water to it. It will raise up much more than the deskinned urad dal.

Remove from grinder and follow with washed Idli rice. Ground until they are in a smooth consistency.

Mix the dal and rice batter together along with salt. Let it rest to ferment for 8 hours or overnight.

Heat a dosa pan and spread a ladle of the batter in a circular motion. Drizzle with gingelly oil and allow it to cook.

Flip over the other side and cook for another 2 mins. Serve hot with any spicy chutney of your choice. We had Coconut- Garlic Chutney.
