What do you do with beets?
Where I live the only way people eat them is as salad, with raw onion, cilantro and lemon juice. But I wanted to try something different. Any suggestions? Other than borscht, too many damn ingredients.

I make a super poor mans borscht with beets, stewed tomatoes, cabbage, and some bits of chicken

Maybe not what you are looking for but you could try pickling them or using them in other picklings like with boiled eggs. I personally love the earthy rich flavor of pickled beats but I think it is a love it or hate it kind of thing.

Now that you mention it, I have a jar full of pickle juice leftover from some pickled cucumbers. Can I just drop the beets in there for a while and expect them to taste good?

Nah, that'll fuck it up. It has been some time since I've made pickled beats but you use acidic stuff like vinegar. You can go look up a few different recipes for them and see what the general consensus is. Pickle juice would make them taste weird.

roast them whole
pair it with beef (good in burgers)
puree and add when baking
Smoothies paired with ginger, spinach and blackcurrants

>Roast them with some butternut squash and oil. Season with a bit of salt.
It's a nice simple side and the flavors work great.
>slice them into chips, spread a mix of goat cheese and dill on top, toss some arugula in lemon juice and put it on top.
I simple and refreshing appetizer or snack
>juice them, mix it with geletin and make beat flavored jello
You can add it to salads, use it as a garnish for white meat, make it into an beet aspic (people usually call them salads) or just eat it as a snack if you like jello. It can be kind of off-putting though if you are used to eating sweet gelatin

I like them in mashes. Some carrot, beet, parsnip, rutabaga, potato (whatever roots you want, really) cubed, boiled, and drained. Then I add mustard and a bit of mayo for creaminess and mash it all together.
