Edible Vancouver Island Summer 2022

p r o c e d u r e

Cut beets into desired shape, like a 1-inch cube or larger, or a wedge depending on the size of the beet. Place beets and cooking liquid in a small sauté pan. On high heat, bring to a boil and reduce liquid by ⅔. Add maple syrup and continue to reduce until only enough liquid to coat the beets remains. Off the heat, add the butter and mix until it has completely melted in. Adjust seasoning to taste. While the beets are cooking, spread the feta crema on the bottom of a dish of your choosing. Create a crater in the center to place the beets into. Place warm beets into the feta crema crater. Garnish with pistachio crumble and basil leaves. Serve warm or room temperature.
