Beet Rose Garnish
roll up beet slices and form into a rose flower garnish

Beet Rose Garnish, so simple to make, overlap beet slices slightly on paper towels into a long continuous row, roll up slices, set it upright, adjust the petals making a beautiful edible rose. I make them in advance, lay them on their sides, cover and refrigerate until I'm ready to garnish my dinner plates.

Prep Time: 10 min      Total Time: 10 min      Yield: many

Ingredients

1 can whole beets, pickled or plain, sliced very thin (10 to 15 slices are needed for each rose)
plain toothpicks

Directions

On a flat surface overlap beet slices slightly on paper towels into a long continuous row, sprinkle with salt.

Starting at one end of the row carefully roll up slices as tightly as possible without breaking the beets. Cut a thin slice off one end of rolled beets to sit level on a plate. Blot well with a paper towel and place upright on a plate. If necessary, use toothpicks to hold in place. Adjust slices if necessary to resemble a flower. Place one on each individual plate.

Wine recommendation: Pinot Gris; Chardonnay
