Beet Ketchup

The Ingredients

1/2 large beet

olive oil

1/2 red onion

salt

pepper

1 cup organic ketchup

I was watching Giada last week and she had a recipe for beet ketchup, but I decided to sort of change it up a bit. Instead of roasting the beet, I diced it up (skin on) and sautéed it with some diced red onion and olive oil. I also added some salt and pepper to taste. It cooks quickly this way, and the olive oil works really nicely with it. 

In a blender, I poured in some ketchup. Then, I added the sautéed beet and onion and blended away into a thick purée. It should look like this: 

It sort of tastes like puréed pickled beets and is DELICIOUS. I served it with some thick-cut, baked steak fries with turmeric and truffle parmesan scrambled eggs. YUM!
