Although beetroots are not used in the Bhutanese diet, from time to time these sublime roots pop up in the sabzi bazaar. This happened to be the case in the last couple of weeks, where a bunch of purplish, hard and very fresh beets were discovered among the ubiquitous chillies and carrots. Heaven!
Beets are a versatile vegetable. I usually pickle the roots, but they can also be roasted, boiled, or grated into a salad. The leaves of the root (known as beet greens) are also used in the kitchen, but they went missing. When choosing beets, pick ones that are firm and attached to fresh stems.
