The first time that my husband had this dish at my mom's house, he looked at it and said out of the side of his mouth, "What is that?" I encouraged him to just taste it and naturally, he liked it. To this day, this is the only way that he'll eat beets. And eating beets is definitely a good thing because they are great for you. They are loaded with iron, potassium, magnesium and calcium. Beets also have many blood cleaning properties.
This recipe is incredibly simple. For 2 cans of beets (drained), add 2 cloves of minced garlic, 2 tablespoons of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of vinegar. Mix it well and let it hang out for an hour or a day (depending on how much time you have). That's all there is to it. I usually make four cans at a time and it only lasts me a couple of days.
If you've never tried beets before, I recommend taking the plunge. Oh, and just be careful when you drain the cans because beet juice stains. I have a number of shirts now relegated to "house clothes" that can attest to this.
