I am really impressed with that meat and wanted her to try it. She said "sure the meat is fine, but what's that flavor in the mushrooms?" My first thought was "Hey, you're supposed to notice the steak." Then I smiled. It was one of those moments when you know the recipe works.

How long it takes depends on the size of the beets, but it's pretty easy to test them with a small knife inserted in the stem end of the beet. They're kind of fun to peel, too. After they've cooled in their cooking liquid enough to handle, just rub firmly with a paper towel. The skin comes off easily at that point. My salad is very simple. Cut up the beets, add chunky slices of red onion, and fresh basil. I use a crush whole clove of garlic, red wine vinegar, a touch of good balsamic vinegar, olive oil, salt, and pepper to dress it. It keeps for a few day and can be served cold or at room temperature. It's really pretty, too.aseafishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07053629540565593001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4185891100152141443.post-74188237391755501932011-06-22T00:10:25.269-07:002011-06-22T00:10:25.269-07:00Sounded like a great dinner.

I keep looking at fresh beets at farmers markets. <br />Bev KAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
