• Chicken, grated beets, and beet greens with orange butter

I didn't like tomatoes until I had really good, fresh, ripe heirloom tomatoes. I didn't like salami until I tried the good stuff. And you know what, I didn't like beets, either. But this was delicious. I think I still like the beet greens better than the actual beets. You really have to make an effort to have them not taste like dirt. But in this recipe, the citrus butter did an excellent job of masking the earthen flavor. We're getting beets now pretty regularly, and not just the greens. But being that I've never been a beet fan, we're really at a loss at what to do with them. Anyone have any favorite recipes? I truly think beets are one of the most beautiful vegetables, with their deep scarlet color and matching red-veined foliage, and I want to be able to cook them in a way that tastes as pretty is it looks.
