Mapled beets with apple-orange salsa and bacon lardons
Salsa
Years ago as one of my go-to comfort foods, I would roast beets and later saute them in butter and maple syrup. Just thinking about the texture and flavor still makes me relax into contentment. I don't make beets as much these days as my husband belongs to the forming club of spouses and significant others who hates beets. But I thought MAYBE this recipe would tempt him if I updated it a bit. I mean who can resist maple syrup, butter and bacon?? I kept the warming maple syrup and butter from my original approach, and added apple, oranges and bacon for a total great burst of flavor with the beets. I told him to think of the beets as burgandy pancakes.... let's just say he wasn't going for it. But I hope all you beet lovers out there enjoy this one! I have more beets to cook up and I'm doing this recipe all over again tonight.
