4 tablespoons butter, divided
2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
2 cans sliced beets, 15 ounces, drained
1 cup frozen pearl onions, defrosted
2 boxes frozen baby peas, 10 ounces each
Salt

Steps:

  • In a medium skillet over moderate heat melt 2 tablespoons butter, add parsley and sliced beets. Warm through, season with salt and serve.
  • In a second skillet, also over moderate heat, melt remaining butter, add onions and warm through. Add peas and cook 5 minutes. Season with salt and transfer to a serving dish.
  • If your stovetop is too crowded when you find your pocket-of-time to deal with the sides, feel free to use your microwave for either of these dishes, loosely covering beets or peas. Microwave on high, but check them every couple of minutes -- you're just warming them through and melting the butter.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh, firm beets. Avoid beets that are wilted or have blemishes.
  • To easily remove the beet skin, roast the beets whole in a 400°F oven for about an hour, or until they are tender. Once they are cool enough to handle, the skins will slip right off.
  • If you don't have time to roast the beets, you can also peel them with a vegetable peeler. However, this method is more time-consuming and can be more difficult to do.
  • When cooking beets, be sure to add a little bit of vinegar or lemon juice to the water. This will help to prevent the beets from losing their color.
  • Beets can be cooked in a variety of ways, including roasting, boiling, and steaming. The cooking time will vary depending on the method you choose.
  • Once the beets are cooked, they can be eaten as is, or they can be used in a variety of dishes, such as salads, soups, and stews.
  • Beets are a good source of dietary fiber, potassium, and vitamin C. They are also a good source of antioxidants, which can help to protect the body from damage caused by free radicals.
