A can of beets?

Do you also have a can of pickled beets somewhere in your cupboard and don't know what to do with it? I've got two recipes for you. 

Recipe #1:

Beets, brussels sprouts with rice (own creation)

Ingredients:
  • 1 can of beets (don't drain them)
  • 2 carrots
  • brussels sprouts (a whole package)
  • garlic or garlic powder
  • 1/2 onion
  • 1/2 cube vegetable stock
  • rice
  • water
  • oil
  • salt, pepper, and optional: parsley, lemon juice
Directions:
  1. Chop the onions and the carrots, fry in oil in a medium saucepan on medium heat.
  2. Add the garlic (minced) or garlic powder
  3. Add the vegetable stock (the cube kind), and the beets with the liquid, add some water if it's too salty at the end
  4. Add the rice
  5. Add the brussels sprouts, bring to boil. 
  6. Let simmer for 10-15 minutes until desired consistency (you can make it more soup like if you want.
  7. Add parsley (optional) and lemon juice (just a drop)
  8. Enjoy! (Eat with cheese or ham if you want to add more protein)
