how to make cooked fresh beets from the garden
To boil beets, submerge them in boiling water until they are tender. You can cut the beets first or leave them whole to boil. In order to steam beets, cut them into 1/2-inch pieces and place them in a steamer basket with 2 inches of boiling water and cover. Cook them until they are tender. For sautÃ©ed beets, slice or dice beets and sautÃ© in a pan with oil until beets are tender. Season to taste.
