This looks great! My crop-share starts this week and I am hoping for some delicious beets. If I am lucky I will be making this beautiful stack this weekend.

Debs – I just got some chioggia beets this past weekend, and can’t wait to use them — I think I’m going to do them lightly steamed with chopped pistachios, mint, and red wine vinegar…

emily – Thanks for the compliment! And I love Katy’s site too! As for making this into a salad, the taste combination is a winner, but presentation plays a big part too — if you want to serve it family style, I would mound a big pile of ricotta or farmer’s cheese in the center of a plate, then arrange alternating beet and orange slices around it. If you mixed it all together it might all turn beet red…

maybelle’s mom – I have a container of amaranth sitting in my cabinet but haven’t been brave enough to make it yet — one cookbook I have (Mollie Katzen’s Enchanted Broccoli Forest??) has a whole section on cooking various grains, so I’m planning on following her directions… I ‘ll let you know if it works out. I’m glad Belle liked it though!

Deb – Thanks! I love them too!

Jen, i attempted to make an amaranth pilaf with beets and oranges…it turned out interesting.
