Hello everybody.
No cooking today so I decided to do some cute dishes for Valentine’s Day which is coming up in the next few days or you can even make them in anniversaries or birthdays.
I made these cute little pies with beets and remaining pieces turned to a small salad then made Red Velvet cupcakes and used smashed beets instead of food coloring but seems I over baked beets cause color turned so dark not red, results looked like a chocolate cupcake rather than a red velvet, taste was pretty good .
Ingredients and method of beet pies:
* puff pastry squares.
* some olive oil,salt and pepper.
* boiled or baked beetroot.
* feta cheese or blue cheese as you prefer.
* walnuts.
* balsamic vinegar.
* make heart shapes ( small or big) with cookie cutters.
* spread puff pastry squares on wax paper then prick them with a fork so as they won’t puff a lot.
* brush with olive oil,salt and pepper.
* line up the beets then bake in a medium heated oven for 30 minutes or till puffs are golden.
* sprinkle feta cheese or blue cheese, walnuts then drizzle with condensed balsamic vinegar.
As for the red velvet I took the recipe from a nice food blog called little sunny kitchen , very easy recipe that uses beets instead of food coloring.
Happy Valentine <3
