Golden Beet Schnitzel
2-3 small or medium or 1 large golden beet(s)
2 eggs
flour
salt and pepper
chili powder, optional
parsley flakes, or fresh parsley, chopped
butter
olive oil
sour cream, optional
Wash the beets and steam them between 30-45 minutes, until a knife goes in easily. While beets are steaming, mix flour, salt, pepper, chili powder, and parsley. Remove from steam and peel. Slice beets into 1/2″ slices. Break the eggs into a flat bowl and beat with a fork until they are well blended.
In a large frying pan, add butter and olive oil and bring up to medium high heat, you want about equal parts of oil and butter, and about 1/4″ depth.
Dredge the beets in the eggs, then in the flour mixture until lightly coated. Fry the beets until they are deep golden brown, about 8 minutes per side. Drain onto paper towel, and serve with sour cream.
They are good – crispy on the outside, sweet and tender on the inside.

I had a massage this morning with a gentleman who was referred to me from a guy who’s never been on my table, but who has heard others “raving” about me. I wonder how to account this – for the two guys who raved, or the guy who’s never been on my table? or both?
