The CSA has been providing a bounty of glorious beets. I do love roasting them and eating them on salads. And also pickling them. But recently I felt like making a smoothie. I'm not huge into the juicing craze. I like fiber too much. But I threw these things in the food processor... And voila. Beet sauce to be eaten with a spoon. Ingredients:
Beets: Trimmed, peeled, chunked if they are huge. However many you have left in the veggie drawer.
Carrots: CSA whole ones preferred. Washed and trimmed. A handful or so of baby carrots works, too.
Unsweetened applesauce: 1 Cup or so. I would've used whole apples if I'd had them.
Mint: However much your heart desires. I discovered keeping mint in the freezer totally works fine for things like this.Lemon: Juice of 1 lemon. Keeps the colors bright and the flavor fresh.
Water: This is a thick goopy mess. Water helps.
Directions:
Put all the things in the food processor. Press on. Taste. Add more of whatever. Eat.
