Preparation
Step 1
Peel and grate the beets. Toss them in a nonstick frying pan with 2 tablespoons melted butter. Add 1/4 inch water and 1 teaspoon red-wine vinegar, and bring to simmer over medium heat for 1 minute, stirring. Cover, lower heat, and simmer about 10 minutes, adding more water if necessary, until beets are tender and liquid has evaporated. Swirl and toss with another tablespoon or so of butter, and season to taste.
