Just back from the Farmers Market and Dominic, one of the Gazy Brothers Farm sons, suggests I try one of the larger beets that was from the “Pick Your Own Garden” but had made its way to the market.<\/p>\n

Yay! Something challenging for me to cook. I never cooked a softball or baseball sized beet before and I had two, but don’t just trust me look at the photo taken next to eggs!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

So how do I cook? I consulted a New York Times Cooking: Really Big Beets<\/a> recipe that suggested roasting at 400 degrees after scrubbing, peeling, coating with olive oil, salt and pepper. I wrapped each beer in aluminum foil and roasted on a sheet pan for 80 minutes. The recipe suggests 45 to 90 minutes, so I checked at 45 and 80 it was done when a knife or fork could be easily inserted.<\/p>\n

How to’s: peel with knife<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Coat with oil, salt pepper<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Wrap beets and cook on baking sheet<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Test wellness with knife or fork<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Eat and enjoy! One suggestion is Greek Beets<\/a> from Greek Boston. I like sliced with olive oil, vinegar, garlic, onions. Another option is mix in sour cream or yogurt instead of oil. Yum.<\/p>\n

Or maybe serve whole – it’s very size is impressive – and have fix-ins on the side.<\/p>\n

See size of final product next to large peaches!<\/p>\n
