Oooh, this is so delicious! I've made it over and over again, sometimes topped with chopped pecans, or walnuts, but I love to use pistachios the most of all, the deep red really sets off the bright green of the chopped nuts... Yum!!!

delicious!! this was my first attempt at making beets, and they were just lovely! a little dangerous - everything i touch is now fuchsia - but sooo tasty! i saved the greens and made crepes using Crepes for the batter and Beet Greens with Beets for the seasoning. it was my favorite lunch i've had in a long time. thanks so much!!

Lovely side dish! I used my canned beets, so I had this done really quick. The orange is a VERY good compliment to the beets. I added 1 teaspoon sugar to get a sweet tart taste. I used toasted sliced almonds. Thanks for posting this!
