Folate-Rich Veggies – Sauteed Beets with Mustard Seeds Recipe

Folate-Rich Veggies – Sauteed Beets with Mustard Seeds Recipe

  • 2 pounds gold and red beets, scrubbed and rinsed
  • 3 tablespoons canola oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon mustard seeds
  • 2 small green serrano chile peppers, sliced into 1/4-inch rounds
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh cilantro leaves
  • 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice, or more to taste
  1. Cover beets with water in medium pot and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer 20 minutes or until just tender. Drain, cool, peel, and chop beets into 1/2-inch cubes (quarter baby beets, if using).
  2. Heat oil in large skillet over high heat. When it begins to smoke, add mustard seeds and cover pan with lid or splatter screen. When they have stopped sputtering, stir in peppers. Add beets and salt. Toss, cover, reduce heat to low, and cook another 6 to 8 minutes to allow flavors to blend.
  3. Toss with cilantro and lemon juice (to taste).
