Preparation

Step 1

In large pot of boiling salted water, cover and cook beets for about 40 minutes or until tender. Drain and let cool slightly; slip off skins. Cut in half; cut into wedges.

Meanwhile, in large nonstick skillet, melt butter over medium heat; cook onion, stirring occasionally, for 8 minutes or until tender. Stir in honey, lemon juice, nutmeg, salt and pepper.

Add beets; cook, stirring to coat, for 5 minutes or until glazed.


Additional information :

Tip: If you already have your oven on, you can bake instead of boil the beets. Wrap them in foil and bake for 1-1/2 hours in 425°F (220°C) oven, or for 2 hours in 350°F (180°C) oven, or until tender and skins can be slipped off.
