Beet Garnish




     So many beet recipes involve either dairy products or vinegar (yeast, corn if white distilled) and are thus allergenic for some of us. These beets, besides being rich without dairy and well-seasoned without vinegar, are a vivid color and quick to prepare.

     1 lb. washed, peeled, grated beets
     1/2 c. canned coconut milk  (See Coconut and Milk in the Glossary)
     1 tsp. ground dried mint leaves  (See Spices in the Glossary)
     2 cloves crushed garlic
     salt  (See Salt in the Glossary)

     Put the beets, coconut milk, mint, garlic and 1/2 tsp. of salt into a sufficiently wide skillet. Bring to a boil, cover and simmer, stirring frequently, for 15 min or so, until the beets are tender and have lost their raw flavor. Uncover and boil off any excess remaining liquid. Serve warm
