Beets are known as a blood-building food in Chinese dietetics, and recent studies have shown beets to have a component that increases hemoglobin- go figure!

I make a batch almost weekly, adding them to other dishes at the end, salads, and as its own salad. They’re sweet when cooked, and the dressing improves their digestibility.

Ingredientes

Cost per serving $0.63 view details
  • 1 bunch of beets - should have about 3 medium-to-large or 5-6 if they’re smaller (smaller will cook faster); trim them so all you have left is the stump and the tail
  • 1 can of chick peas or any beans you like, rinsed
  • 1 cup frozen or fresh string beans, depends on the time of year
  • salt - pinch
  • culinary herbs - 1 tsp
  • balsamic vinegar- to taste
  • extra virgin olive oil- to taste

Direcciones

  1. Boil the beets until you can stick a fork in them but before they are too mushy
  2. In the meantime, rinse the chickpeas and place in a glass pan, and steam the string beans
  3. When the string beans are ready, add the oil and vinegar, and toss
  4. When the beets are cooked, remove them to a bowl, cool to handle, then remove the skin and slice; the dressing will be better added when the string beans and beets are still warm
  5. Salt and add herbs to taste and toss
