Directions

1. Cook the beets: place them in a pot. Add water ( make sure the beets are fully covered with water). Bring the water to a boil and cook the beets until you can easily pierce them with a fork. It may take over one hour depending on the size of the beets. Note that the beets might stain the pot. Cool the beets before handling as they will be very hot.
2. After beets are cooked, peel and chop them into bite-size pieces. Place them in a bowl. Add chopped garlic, olive oil and chopped cilantro. Sprinkle with salt. Enjoy!
