Here is the recipe for candy cane beets (see top picture to left):
3 cups beets, chopped, 1/2 medium zucchini, chopped, 2 medium carrots, chopped, 1 medium onion, chopped, 3 garlic cloves, minced, 1 tbsp dried oregano, 1 tbsp dried rosemary, 1 tbsp canola oil![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgT7YZH9xczlRaQSVHYW5f-9jHVuMSXXx1TUeGaazQOIL9GOsyBm4sAojDepV6CJfozxwimQaVRTH58zqkCwZ_m4-JxxQVhQZrs9ZOon75t6loK6XQgRQAduXiwWAG6nX42VfCS7QpYZKA/s320/IMG_0539%5B1%5D)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place 1 tbsp canola oil in casserole/baking dish. Place remaining ingredients in dish, cover dish, and place in oven to bake for 60 minutes, or until beets are tender.
While the candy cane beets were in the oven, I also cooked black eyed beans (in water, brought to a boil, reduce to slightly lower heat for 40 minutes). Once the black eyed beans were cooked, they were transformed into black eyed bean patties!
Here is the recipe for black eyed bean patties (see middle picture to left):
2 cups black eyed beans, cooked, 1 1/2 tbsp parsley, chopped, 1 1/2 tbsp
cilantro chopped, 1 garlic clove, minced, 2 green onions, chopped, 1 tbsp water, 1 tsp cumin, 1/2 tsp sea salt
Preheat oven to 350 degrees (it was already preheated/baking the candy cane beets). Place all ingredients in food processor and blend until chunky (not creamy). Form mixture into patties and place in a lightly oiled baking dish. Place baking dish (uncovered) in oven and bake for 30 minutes (or more - until patties are slightly browned on top).
While the candy cane beets and black eyed bean patties were baking, I also prepared some wild rice blend rice. Once all the food was ready (see bottom picture to left for finished meal), it was dished up together and was a very tasty and fun meal!
I tried this and absolutely loved the Candy Cane beets. This was my first time having cooked beats and they were delicious. I dressed my bean patties with hemp oil and they were very tasty too.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your feedback! I love baked beets too - it is definitely my favorite way to eat beets. It is a great suggestion to use hemp oil over the patties - very yummy!
