Creamy Beets image

This was a favorite of my husband's family. I believe it is a Polish recipe. Use caution when working with beets as beet juice will stain almost anything.

Categories     Vegetables

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 bunch red beets
3 Tbsp vinegar (i prefer apple cider flavored)
3 Tbsp granulated sugar (to taste)
salt and pepper to taste
1 c sour cream (may use low fat, not fat free)

Steps:

  • 1. Peel beets. Shred using the coarse side of a box grater, or the shredding disk of a food processor.
  • 2. Put beets in a sauce pan. Add water to just reach the top of the beets. Simmer until beets are tender and liquid is almost all gone (should take 20 - 25 minutes). Add salt, pepper, vinegar and sugar. Cook 2-3 minutes to dissolve sugar. Add sour cream. Allow mixture to warm-up, but do not boil as sour cream will break.
  • 3. Taste and adjust seasonings. May serve hot, at room temperature, or slightly chilled. Keeps for 2-3 days in the refrigerator

These beets were a bit bland for my taste. I think I would have liked them better if I had added more spices to the sauce. Otherwise, they were easy to make and the texture was nice.

I love beets but I'm always looking for new ways to cook them. This recipe was a great find! The creamy sauce really made the beets shine. I will definitely be making this again.

The creamy beets were easy to make and very tasty. I added a bit of extra garlic and paprika to the sauce for a little more flavor. I served them over quinoa and it was a great meal. Definitely a keeper!
