INSTRUCTIONS
Water level high Put the beets in the steaming basket, cover, and steam until very tender when pierced with a small knife, 30-40 mins. Remove from the steamer and let stand until cool enough to handle. Meanwhile stir together the yogurt, sour cream, lemon juice and salt in a medium bowl. Using a small knife, peel and trim the beets. Cut them into 1/3" to 1/2" thick slices and cut the slices into 1/3" to 1/2" thick strips. Add to the yogurt mixture and toss gently to mix. Refrigerate until very cold, 2-3 hours. Just before serving, taste the beets for salt and pepper, adjust as needed. Sprinkle with the chives and serve cold. These recipes are from a super book called Cooking with Steam by Stephanie Lyness, ISBN 0-688-13814-4. It retails for 19.95 US or the book she compares different Steamers. She has a lot of hints and tips spread through out the book. All of the recipes I have tried have been very good. I am very concerned about fats in my families diets and cooking by steam is a really good way to take fat from cooking out of your diet. Cooking vegetables in the steamer lets all the natural flavour come through. I would definately reccomend this book.
