今天請朋友過來吃飯。 於是一個下午都在家折騰吃的。烤了一個玉米麵餅子，有做了一個甜菜的色拉。 我家老媽打趣我說，“這那裏是請客吃飯？！ 請客吃飯應該弄點好吃好喝的。 我的選擇簡直是強迫性的憶苦思甜。對他們這些經曆過困難時期的上輩人來說，吃甜菜啃窩窩頭的日子算是過夠了。
Beets are often consider as the vegetable of the cold weather. Especially, during many years ago in China, when Chinese people did not have as many choices and supplies for the food during the winter, beets are a very common choice for the everyday meal especially for the northern part of China. Nowadays, when people have more than enough choice for food and everything, beets are not that commonly found on a dinner table. Guess people had enough in the old days.
Well, I still like the deep burgundy color of beets, and it seems to be a perfect salad choice for winter.
It's quite easy to make. If you like something simple, colorful and yet delicious. This is a good choice.
1) Toss 2 medium beets with 2 tbs of olive oil on a sheet of baking foil. Fold the baking foil to cover the beets and place it one a baking pan. Roast with 350 degree for about 60 min till it's tender and can be easily poked through with a fork.
2) Let it cool. Peel the beets and slice them (not too thin)
3) Toss up some olive oil, black pepper, Dijon Mustard, and champaign vinegar
4) In a little bowl, mix up the dressing and the beets
5) Place each slice of beets on the plate.
