I had a good time looking for recipes, beet and fava. A great place to look
for beet recipes is in a Russian cookbook. I found a lot of them in Please
to the Table, the Russian Cookbook by Anya von Bremzen & John Welchman.
Here's a great vegetarian one, slightly adapted.

1. Saute onion, carrot, and pepper in the 6 tb of broth until slightly
soft, about 5minutes.

2. Stir in cabbage, beet, and celery and continue to saute, stirring and
tossing occasionally, 10 to 15 minutes.

3. Stir in apple, potatoes, tomato paste, and garlic, then add stock and
bouquet garni and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, covered, for 20
minutes.

4. Add the paprika, salt and pepper, sugar, and lemon juice to taste. Let
stand at least 2 to 3 hours or overnight. Remove bouquet garni before
serving. Srve garnished with parsley and dill.

Serves 8.
