SO HOW'D IT GO?
I had 2 large beets so I cut them in half and pressure cooked for about 10 minutes (with 1/4 C water) and let them cool off in the cooker while I sliced the apples and micro-planed some frozen ginger. Running the beets under cold water, I slid off the skins and cubed them as oktokrewl recommended. I added some (1-1.5 Tbs) walnut oil. Just perfect!
so simple and delicious.. I doubled the recipe and also added about a tablespoon of grated fresh ginger and fresh ground black pepper. I also cubed the beets into about 1" - 1.5" pieces before baking them. Thanks for one of the best beet dishes I've ever had!
