Polish Fried Beets

When I was a child, I used to hate this dish with a passion of thousand burning suns. Something about a boiled root that always vaguely smelled of dirt didn't really sound appetizing to me. Recently, though, I got involved in a challenge that forced me to utilize beets. This recipe seemed the easiest and I didn't have to like it, right? Fortunately for me I fell in love and I can't wait to make it again.

Ingredients:

• 1lbs beets, boiled
• 1/2 small onion, chopped into small pieces
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp pepper
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder 
• 1 tbsp of cooking oil 
• (optional) 1 tsp flour

You will need a large frying pan or even a large pot, and a grater.

Grate the beets on the medium side and set aside. In the frying pan, heat up the oil and throw on the onion. Cook until it starts browning. Add the beets and all the spices. Keep stirring until everything heats up and the flavors meld together. If you desire to thicken it, add flour and continue mixing.

Serve with dinner. It goes best with pork schnitzel and potatoes. 

Enjoy!
