Make a big batch of borscht and freeze what you don't want to eat right away. There are also a lot of great salads you can make with beets, including beet slaw. Check out http://www.foodnetwork.com/ for a bunch of great beet recipes.

When I was in Sweden, I had a fantastic dish called Pytt I Panna. It's like a course hash made from cooked meat (pork, ham, beef or all of the above), onions, potatoes and often beets. Google around for recipes if you want to try it. Sorry I don't have a particular one to recommend.

Beetroot Tarator

Use 2 large or 4 medium beetroot. Peel and chop into chunks. Put in baking dish and sprinkle with salt and olive oil. Cover with foil and roast in oven (200) for 30 minutes until soft. Leave to cool. Peel and crush two garlic cloves. Juice a lemon. Add garlic and lemon juice to beetroot. When beetroot is room temperature add four tablespoons of greek yogurt. Pulse in food processor until you have a beetroot puree. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste. You now have a wonderful dip for pita, turkish or other flat breads.

Balsamic Beetroots.

Peel and chop beetroots. Place beetroot pieces in baking dish. Sprinkle seat salt over beets. Drizzle 4-5 tablespoons of balsamic vinegar over beets and sprinkle brown sugar (or white if you don't have any brown) over beets. Cover with foil. Cook for 30 minutes in oven on 200. You can eat these warm or serve cold with bbq or salad.

Also google a recipe for borscht. Fantastic Russian beetroot soup.

Enjoy your beets!

I made this and set it in jars and used as a relish with cold meats.

It was great and is worth trying.

You could use fresh cooked beets after they have cooled.

1. Drain Wattie’s Chunky Beetroot and reserve liquid. Place boysenberry jelly crystals in a bowl and pour over 3/4 cup boiling water, stir to dissolve, add reserved beetroot juice and cider vinegar, stir to combine and set aside to cool for 15 minutes.

2. Mix in beetroot and pour into 2 1/2 cup capacity non-metallic mould, refrigerate overnight or until set.
