Beet, Chioggia
Posted in recipes, featured selections on May 11th, 2007
“Chioggia” is an Italian heirloom beet with a distinctive target pattern, making it a beautiful addition to salads. It has a sweet, mild peppery taste, and roasted whole, it can be sliced to show off the rings without bleeding, though raw shows off the best color contrast.
Beet greens are delicious, too, so don’t discard them! Toss them in the salad or sautee with a little olive oil and garlic. Better yet, make a delicious appetizer by wrapping beet leaves in pastry shell and baking; serve with a garlic sour cream dip. Mmmmmm!
