SC - Period Beet Recipes (was: summer feast)

[Kerri Canepa]

>The only recipe I've seen with beets (and even then it isn't clear if the root 
>or the leaves are used) is Hare in Wortys where the beets are part of the sauce.

And now that I've taken a closer look at it, I've changed my mind. I think the
greens were used in the sauce as everything else in it includes greens and other
plant matter. Worts, after all, do mean greens.

Drat. I think I'm going to have to use a modern recipe (grit teeth) that simply
prepares the beets. A modern Burgundian beet salad is just roasted, diced beets,
wine vinegar, olive oil, and a bit of sugar. Mix the last three ingredients
together, pour over the warm beets, and let marinate for an hour or so. Can't
get much easier than that.
