    Buttered Beets with Arugula

    Recipe courtesy chef Michael Fusco, Flavors Restaurant.

    Ingredients:

    2 or more fresh beets
    1/2 to1 stick unsalted sweet butter
    Kosher salt to taste
    Cracked black pepper to taste
    1 gallon cold water
    2 Tbs. salt
    Arugula

    Preparation:

    Wash beets thoroughly in cold water (use a vegetable scrub brush if needed). Drain and gently pat dry. With a sharp knife, carefully trim root and stem end of beets, removing anything unappealing. Add beets to pot of cool, clean salted water and cook on medium heat until tender. Drain, cool and peel outer skin as needed. Slice the beets about 1/4" thick.

    In a pan large enough to fit the beets, melt 1/2 stick unsalted sweet butter. Add beets and saute until hot, adding more butter if needed.

    To serve, arrange arugula on a plate, top with beets and drizzle with contents of pan. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

    We at DIY believe all of the recipes from Paul James' Home Grown Cooking are accurate and reliable, but since we have not tested them personally, we can claim no responsibility if the desired results are not achieved.
