Ingredients

  • 3 medium sized Beets
  • 1 small Onion
  • 1 in piece of Ginger
  • 1 cup of freshly pressed Apple Cider optional will amplify the flavour. If not available replace with low-sodium chicken broth and a teaspoon of brown sugar
  • 3 cups of low-sodium vegetable or Chicken Broth
  • 2 tbsp Cream optional

Instructions

  • Peel beets and cut into chunks.
  • Peel onion and cut into chunks
  • Roughly chop ginger
  • Take a tbsp of oil in a pan on medium heat.
  • Add in the vegetables and stir them around to caramelize for 8-10 minutes
  • Pour in the liquid. Boil once and then simmer for 20-30 minutes, till the beets are soft.
  • Puree.
  • Add salt.
  • Serve with a splash of cream.

For the Sautéd Beet Greens

  • Take 3 chopped garlic cloves in a tbsp oil along with a sprinkle of red chilli peppers. I go a little crazy with chilli peppers here since it is unlikely my kids will eat this.
  • Sauté for a few minutes till the garlic turns a little brown.
  • Add in the greens and sprinkle salt as needed
  • Sauté briefly and serve.
