Beets with Lime Butter

October 27, 2013 by hapagirl 3 Comments

Shredded Beets This recipe comes from our dear family friend, Pat.  Whenever she hosts a dinner party, she always serves the most amazing food and far too much wine – the latter I’m not necessarily complaining about, although the next morning might be a bit difficult.  In a word, what comes to mind to describe this dish is, ‘elegant’.  The red color of the beets combines with the green lime zest to create an aesthetically pleasing and wonderfully bright and balanced dish. Beets with Lime Butter is an elegant dish, without the complicated components that generally accompany such a combination. Try it at your next dinner party or any other night of the week.

    I would like to try this but have a question. Are the beets roasted or boiled first?

      Hi Casey! The beets are raw when they’re grated and quickly cook up when they’re sauted in a pan with butter. I hope you enjoy!
