Ingredients
- 3 medium beets, scrubbed and trimmed 1 bag (1 pound) dried black beans, rinsed Coarse salt and ground pepper 2 garlic cloves, peeled 2 tablespoons vegetable oil 1 scallion, thinly sliced, plus more for serving 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro Cooked rice, for serving Lime wedges and shredded cheddar, for serving
Directions
In a 6-quart Dutch oven or other heavy pot, combine beets, beans, and enough water to cover; season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil; reduce to a simmer, and cook until beets are tender, 45 minutes to 1 hour (add more water to cover, if needed).
Transfer beets to a bowl; when cool enough to handle, peel and dice. Continue to cook beans until tender, about 1 hour more; pour off any excess liquid.
Finely chop garlic, and sprinkle with salt. Using a chefs knife, press a flat side of blade back and forth across garlic to make a paste. In a small skillet, heat oil over medium; add garlic paste, scallion, and cilantro. Cook, stirring frequently, until scallion has softened, 2 to 4 minutes.
Stir scallion mixture into beans; cook over medium until flavors have blended, about 5 minutes. Serve beans and beets over rice, topped with scallion and cheddar, with lime wedges alongside.

Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 09/06/2010 Great recipe. However, this is a lot of beans. I use 1/2 lb of beans. Also, I like my garlic, so I use 4 clove, 6 scallions and the whole bunch of cilantro. Then I top if off with avocado and tomatoes. It is a wonderful meal. Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 08/26/2009 This recipe is great! We loved it. We are trying to have one meatless meal each week to save money and the environment and this is a new family favorite. Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 05/17/2009 We made these because we received some beets from our local CSA and didn't know what to do with them. This recipe was certainly yummy! The lime juice really adds something.Martha Stewart Member
