What a great idea, i'm going to check out that website.
I have always looooved beets. Mostly pickled beets with eggs were one of my favorite things as a child - i think because they were sweet and PURPLE!
I like them roasted in the oven w/ olive oil & salt & pepper - but I do think that taking the skin off will probably improve on the dirty taste to them. Also making sure they are nice and cleaned up. Oooh - and don't forget you might enjoy the greens- I usually just wilt them in my wok the same as I would spinach. Yum!
