Cooking... Sweet and Sour Beet Saute

The beets in the local grocery have been tempting me, and I finally gave in and purchased a large bunch.  We chopped off the tops for salad greens and washed the roots.  I was surprised that a little beet can go a long way!  We boiled a few to use in salads but still had several roots left.  So we decided to make a sweet and sour beet saute and worked from this recipe. 

2T olive oil
2 beets peeled and cut into matchsticks
2 onions sliced
2 mashed garlic cloves
1/4 cup raisins
2T honey
2T lemon juice
1T OJ
2T soy sauce

Heat oil in skillet; stir-fry the beets, onions, garlic, and raisins for several minutes over medium-high heat until onion is brown. Add the remaining ingredients; lower heat. Toss well to combine. Cover and steam until the vegetables are tender, 15 to 20 minutes adding more OJ or water if too much evaporation occurs.
