Add a photoBeets 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
- 1 bunch of beets - should have about 3 medium-to-large or 5-6 if theyâre 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
- Boil the beets until you can stick a fork in them but before they are too mushy
- In the meantime, rinse the chickpeas and place in a glass pan, and steam the string beans
- When the string beans are ready, add the oil and vinegar, and toss
- 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
- Salt and add herbs to taste and toss
