Chioggia beets are one of my favorite of favorites...I love veggies that have a surprise inside. Chioggia's are a sweet, Italian heirloom variety. I picked these up at my local Farmers' Market.
First, I roasted some:
...along with shallots in olive oil and balsamic vinegar, topped with toasted walnuts and fresh thyme:
Delicious hot or cold
Ciao for now. ;)

ReplyDeleteRose,
ReplyDeleteI love chiogga beets too! But then again of course I do since they are Italian. Chiogga's are so beautiful as well as sweet and tasty. Have you tried to grow them? If yes, how tough are they to grow?

Very beautiful to look at.
