How to Cook Beets is same as Cooking Vegetables; Start With Good Vegetable Recipes

If you are looking for ways of how to cook beets, this is my favorite. Some people call these pickled beets and some call them spiced, but whatever they are delicious. I like to hard boil eggs, remove the shells and place them in a bowl. I then put the beets over top of the eggs. After boiling the liquid, I pour it over the beets and eggs. Refrigerate until cold. The longer they set in the refrigerator the better the flavor absorbs in the eggs.
