Beets Recipe

Instructions
Bring a pot of water to a boil. Add beets and salt. Boil for 15 to 25 minutes, or until tender. Drain. Set aside.

Boil a small pot of water. Add the tomato and parsley. Blanch for 30 seconds. Remove and briefly cool in a bowl of ice water.

In a blender, puree the parsley with the 3 tablespoons cold water. Set aside.

Peel beets and cut into quarters. Place in a bowl and drizzle with the vinegar and 1 tablespoon of the oil. Season with salt.

Peel and dice the tomato and place in a second bowl along with the radishes, remaining 1 tablespoon oil, and parsley puree. Season with salt. Arrange the beets on a plate and spoon the tomato-radish mixture over them. Serves 4.
