Wine Poached Beets

I’m a huge beet fan and I LOVE this recipe.  It’s simple, fast and can be eaten hot out of the pan or cold sliced into a salad.

INGREDIENTS:

¾ c dry red wine or apple juice, if preferred

½ c water

1 Tbsp. brown sugar

2 ½ lbs beets quartered

Honey

1 Tbsp. chopped Parsley

METHOD:

Combine ½ c wine, water and sugar in pan. Bring to a boil and allow sugar to dissolve.  Add beet and cook on low about 45 min.  Drain, beets skins can easily be removed at this time, transfer to a serving bowl with salt and pepper to taste, remaining ¼ c of wine.  Drizzle with honey and garnish with parsley.
