Sweet Beet Pancakes

Oh, how the times have changed.
If you told me five years ago that I’d be recommending that you eat beets in any form, I would have laughed in your face. But here I am, about to tell you why you need to make beet pancakes- and soon.
This weekend, I had my first experience cooking with beets. Hubs brought home four beets for me from our farmer (Hilton) and I knew it was time to experiment. Is it weird that I am not ready to eat a plain roasted beet, and that I’d rather put it in a pancake first? Weird or not, that’s what I did. I roasted those babies up, trimmed and pureed them (all with GLOVED hands, which I highly recommend unless you want stained beet fingers), and mixed them up into my batter.
The verdict? Sweet and delicious. Hubs thought they could use a little extra syrup, but I didn’t think the earthiness of the beets came on too strong. The little guy enjoyed them, too (that means he actually took a few bites and didn’t run the other way asking for M-I-L-K).
If you’re new to beets, too, I would encourage you to start with this recipe. It’s a fairly safe introduction into the world of beets. Some day soon, I hope to face my fears and actually eat a beet on its own.. but until then, I’ll be sitting down to a plate of these sweet, pink cakes.
P.S. Like most pancake recipes, these are freezable!

    If you’re still nervous about beets, try this – my fave beet recipe and a staple side dish in Russia. Bonus – it’s vinegar-based, so it can stay in your fridge for weeks. Pull it out any time you need a side for a meal.

    Vinegret (spelled that way on purpose)

    2 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
    3 – 4 medium carrots, peeled and diced
    2 – 3 medium beets, peeled and diced (or a can of sliced beets, diced)
    a can of petite peas (I know, I hate canned peas, too. Trust.)
    2 – 4 dill pickle spears, diced
    1 small white onion, diced
    1/8 c white vinegar
    1/8 c cold water
    dill weed to taste
    salt and pepper to taste

    –Boil the diced carrots and potatoes together just until fork-tender. Drain and rinse with cold water to stop cooking process.
    –Boil the diced beets (unless using canned) just until fork tender. Rinse repeatedly w/ cold water (they will turn your salad pink/purple no matter what, but this helps somewhat).

    Put the white onion in a large bowl first. Add the other veggies, adding the pickles last. Mix the water, vinegar and dill weed and pour over the veggie mixture. Mix well. Add S&P to taste. MUCH better than the sum of its parts!!!

    I just came across your pancake recipe. I am going to give it a go tomorrow. We LOVE beets…in certain recipes. My daughter goes nuts for them in her “pink” hummus. It is also a pretty great recipe to try if you are unsure of your love for them! I am excited to try them like this though. If all goes well I would love to post a link to your blog 🙂
