Ingredients
- 1 lb Beets, small to medium 2" to 3", stems trimmed to 1"
- 1/4 c. Lowfat yogurt
- 1 Tbsp. Lowfat sour cream
- 2 tsp Fresh lemon juice
- 1/4 tsp Salt
- 1 pch Fresh grnd black pepper
- 1 Tbsp. Fresh chives, minced
Directions
- Water level high
- Put the beets in the steaming basket, cover, and steam till very tender when pierced with a small knife, 30-40 mins. Remove from the steamer and let stand till cold sufficient to handle. Meanwhile stir together the yogurt, lowfat sour cream, lemon juice and salt in a medium bowl. Using a small knife, peel and trim the beets. Cut them into 1/3" to 1/2" thick slices and cut the slices into 1/3" to 1/2" thick strips. Add in to the yogurt mix and toss gently to mix. Chill till very cool, 2-3 hrs. Just before serving, taste the beets for salt and pepper, adjust as needed. Sprinkle with the chives and serve cool. These recipes are from a super book called Cooking with Steam by Stephanie Lyness,
- 19.95 US or possibly 26.45 Can. This bok is for Electric Steamers and at the beginning of the book she compares different Steamers. She has a lot of hints and tips spread through out the book. All of the recipes I have tried have been very good. I am very concerned about fats in my families diets and cooking by steam is a really good way to take fat from cooking out of your diet. Cooking vegetables in the steamer lets all the natural flavour come through. I would definately reccomend this book.
