She just won the best rural food blog award, and she swears by this beet recipe. You definitely need to go check out her site cuz I never thought I would like beets but these are pretty awesome.<\/p>\n<p>Caramelized  Beets with Garlic \u2013<\/p>\n<p><strong>A pile of beets<\/strong>. We get ours from a CSA so I\u2019m never sure how many we\u2019ll have but it\u2019s usually a good amount. Clean them and then cut the tops and ends off. (We save the tops and use the beet greens in curry dishes.)<\/p>\n<p>Next, dice them into small cubes \u2013 about an inch square. I pour about <strong>2 tablespoons of olive oil<\/strong> in a pot, heat it up and then throw the beets in. You need to cook these beets <strong>very slowly<\/strong> over a low heat, stirring to coat them with the oil occasionally.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, you peel <strong>several cloves of garlic<\/strong> and sprinkle generously  with <strong>salt<\/strong>. After the beets have caramelized, you make a small hole in the center of the pile in the pan and toss the garlic in, making sure it touches the bottom of the pan. After a couple of minutes, but before it turns brown, you stir the garlic in with the beets and serve. Very tasty.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/juniorkitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/01\/beets.jpg\" title=\"beets.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/juniorkitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/01\/beets.jpg\" alt=\"beets.jpg\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cI wanna help\u201d is something I hear in the kitchen practically every time I start to cook.
