<p>I also love beets. Growing up my older brother used to pay me for eating his veggies. He absolutely hated warm/cooked veggies. And beets were his worst - mine favorite 
I cooke mine and then grate them - when they are all mushy I put them in a pot and cook for another 15-20 minutes adding some butter, lots of lemon juice and a little sugar.
Divine, although consistency puts some off ;)</p>
