And actually I find beets iffy on timing, some times they're an hour, some times longer. <BR/><BR/>So I never plan on them for 'dinner', just roast/cook ahead and then use later. That's why so many recipes <A HREF="http://aveggieventuresrecipebox.blogspot.com/2005/03/letterb-alphabet-of-vegetables.html#beets" REL="nofollow">beet recipes</A> can be <I>quick</I>.Alanna Kellogghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12869948243694610558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11944565.post-40815724004007085242008-08-05T23:04:00.000-05:002008-08-05T23:04:00.000-05:00Holy cow, it takes an hour to cook beets?!

I bought a bunch at the store this afternoon, thinking simply "Alanna will tell me how to cook them!" <BR/><BR/>Wish I'd been clever enough to look up the recipe earlier! Instead of thinking, "Oh, beets... that must be, what, 10, 15 minutes? Pfft, I'll put it off until later..."<BR/><BR/>This right here is why I need an iPhone. Or why your blog needs to be installed at the grocery store.

I wanted to add that cooked beets freeze beautifully. I haven't tried freezing them for longer than a couple of weeks, but my short term frozen ones were perfect when reheated. I love that because I can prepare extra ahead of time and save all of that cooking time and energy.Chickadeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11195072440198601548noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11944565.post-9666618325883826632008-02-14T07:38:00.000-06:002008-02-14T07:38:00.000-06:00Hi Anonymous ~ You're completely right.

It's less clear on this recipe than on others but my assumption is that a WHOLE POUND of beets are oiled with a tablespoon of oil, 2 tablespoons oil, etc. -- and then are broken up into four servings.Alanna Kellogghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12869948243694610558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11944565.post-81326825889246721722008-02-13T22:32:00.000-06:002008-02-13T22:32:00.000-06:00I was reading your recipes under beets and it was ...I was reading your recipes under beets and it was saying the olive oil calorie count was 1 tablespoon was 1 weight watchers PV. I'm a WW and I think you have it wrong...(sorry) its one tsp thats 1 pv not a tablespoon. I double checked in my getting started Week 1 book and its tsp not tbsp...just thought Id mention it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
