Preparation

Step 1

Peaceful Preparation:

Combine all of the ingredients except for the glaze in a food processor, process until smooth. If you don’t have one, chop the beets fine first and then mix in a bowl until well combined like a batter.

Divide into 4 servings. Cut parchment paper into 4 rectangular pieces, about 1’ x 1’ or less. Also cut 4 pieces of foil into the same size or slightly larger.

Place ¼ of the batter on the parchment paper. It will look gloopy and messy but will transform, hang tight. Roll this up like a tootsie pop, twisting off the ends tightly. Then wrap that in foil, set aside. Repeat until done.

Place this in your steamer for 30 - 40 minutes over boiling water. I took mine 40 minutes. They’ll be firm to the touch when they are done. Turn off the steamer/heat. Transfer to a cooling rack.

You can marinade overnight in the glaze and use as desired the next day. Or you can use immediately which is what I did.

Unwrap. Slice as desired. I put a little olive oil on a pan on medium heat, once it was hot I added the sliced “ham” and cooked on low for 10 minutes. I brushed the glaze on each piece, flipped each piece, brushed with the glaze, and cooked 10 more minutes on low. Then served mashed potatoes, gravy and a side salad. Heavenly and super filling! You can also bake, air-fry or prepare as you wish.
