Beets add flavorful boost

Food Spring vegetables are abundant at the farmers markets right now and you can expect to see everything from baby greens, like spinach and leaf lettuces, to beets, English peas and loads of fresh herbs. Baby beets happen to be one of my favorite vegetables. They are easy to grow if you have the space, but are readily available at the farmers markets and grocery stores. Beets have an earthy flavor that can add complexity to almost any dish. I have used roasted beets to make pasta dough that was amazingly delicious and a beautiful presentation with its deep purple hue.
