This makes a delicious side dish. A complex combination of sweet and salty that becomes more than the sum of it’s ingredients. Thanks goes to my mom, Cynthia, for the recipe!
What You’ll Need:
- 1 1/2 lbs of beets
- 1 Onion, small, sliced in half-moons
- 1 tbsp Oregano
- 6 tbsp Rice Vinegar
- 1/4 tsp White Pepper
- Salt, to taste
Preparation:
Boil the Beets for several hours in plenty of water until a fork can be pushed all the way through them. If your beets vary in size considerably, cut the big ones in half so they all finish at the same time.
Quarter the beets lengthwise, then slice across into smaller quarter-moons.
Cut the ends off your Onion then halve. Peel the skins off. Slice into thin half-moons using a sharp knife. If you prefer your onions with less bite, soak them in cold water after cutting. The astringent juices will be drawn out of the onions leaving a much milder flavor.
Toss the Beets and Onions together with the Oregano, Rice Vinegar, Salt, & Pepper.
Enjoy!
Wow, if I liked beets or onions, this would be delicious and fun to make!!! (it is very visually appealing!)
