How To Make
Sauteed Beets

When cooking beets for dinner, I choose sauteed beets whenever the other foods that are part of my meal are on the dry side (such as grains or rice). The cooking technique you use should always be considered in relation to the entire meal.

Place a frying pan with a lid over medium heat. Add a little extra-virgin olive oil (1 teaspoon should do it). When the oil is hot, add pre-peeled diced or chopped beets. Stir. Add a few Tablespoons of water** and cover with lid.

Saute for 5-15 minutes, depending on how small you have made them. Beets are done when they're tender to your liking.

Now comes the fun part. Use the Beet "Vegan Flavor Matches" to create your very own recipe. Add the foods and flavors you like directly to your pan. Warm. Serve.

** Adding a little water or other liquid (such as vegetable broth) to the pan ensures that the oil doesn't ever get too hot and makes for a very tender end result. Plus, you use less oil this way, which is healthier. ;o)
