I like to experiment with using different flavour combinations with unexpected ingredients. One of my favourite items are beets, as they offer the sweetness, fiber and a blast of colour. This Beet Hummus with Fresh Fruit will it the spot and make anything it is paired with just ever so much brighter.
A festive Vegetarian Sugar Free Sweet Potato Beet pie for this lovely holiday season. This pie has three layers of flavour for your enjoyment: the bottom layer is purple sweet potato flavoured with cinnamon, mace, ginger and allspice. The middle layer is a yam, orange in colour flavoured also with cinnamon, mace ginger and allspice. The top layer is red beets flavoured with anise, orange juice and stevia drops. The taste of this pie will make you forget pumpkin pie forever. The pie crust is from Betty Crocker.
Roasted beets offer a refreshing change from your typical beet salad. The smoky, charred nature of the beet brings the sweetness of the beet to the forefront, along with the addition of balsamic vinegar, it plays up the sweet/sour combination.
