Sweet and spicy golden beets


Serves 4

5 small yellow beets, peeled and cubed into 1/2" pieces
1 tsp cumin seeds
2 green peppers, chopped
1 large red onion, chopped
1 can of diced tomatoes
3 cloves of garlic, chopped
1-2 tsp crushed red pepper
1 tsp all purpose flour
salt to taste

  1. Steam cubed beets for 15 mins until you find the pieces easy to penetrate with a fork. Heat oil in a pot, add cumin and a 1/2 min later add garlic. Once the garlic is lightly cooked, add onion, sliced peppers and salt. Cook until onions are slightly browned and translucent.
  2. Add flour and crushed red pepper. Saute for 1/2 a minute.
  3. Add beets, tomato and salt if needed. Bring to a simmer, cover and cook for another 10 mins over a low flame.
