PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats, but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are encouraged to read the complete guidelines. As entertainment critic Roger Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."

"Fushia Magenta Nuclear Beets"
Posted by qwertypie on 12-15-11 at 08:34 PM
So yummy! I used white wine instead of vinegar, so the beets were a little more magenta-y rather than fushia. I substituted 1:1 cayenne pepper/sweet paprika for the hot paprika. The dish has some heat, I loved it, but had to add some more sour cream for the rest of the family (the kiddies are not beet fans to begin with, but to each his/her own).

Now here is where it's going to get interesting. My in-laws are very Ukrainian (well, only half, but the Ukrainian side kind of took over and obliterated the British/Welsh influence) and we have rented a hall and doing potluck for Christmas. I am going to bring this dish and sit back and watch the fallout. The older ones will probably think I am being sacrilegeous (ha ha ha!). The great-aunts and uncles take their beets very seriously

(These are the same ones who complain bitterly when there are no cabbage rolls present, are too arthritic to make the dish themselves, yet won't accept restaurant made or store bought. )

I might relent and make two batches of beets and cut back on the kick for one of them.

Thanks Tribe for a great recipe that is pretty easy to do. I didn't really get the hang of sweating the garlic, it browned on me pretty quickly, but it still turned out great.

I'll post the pictures as soon as I get the camera cable.
