Beet Caviar (Ukrainian Beet Spread)
A tasty, wholesome cold appetizer straight from Ukraine! I first tried this beet "caviar" — a savory beet spread — at my grandmother's place in Ukraine, and I loved it. I've made it at home ever since; it's delicious and good for you. It's high in fiber, which makes it especially good for kids and older folks, and it couldn't be simpler to make.

- Wash the beets and boil them until tender. Run the beets through a meat grinder, and grind the onion separately. Sauté the onion in a skillet with a little vegetable oil until golden, then stir it into the beets and add salt.
- Simmer for fifteen minutes over moderate heat. Then stir in 9% vinegar to taste, along with the spices. Let it cool a little and pack it into jars. Once it's cooled, store it somewhere cold. And there's your beet caviar.
- You can put this delicious spread up for the winter, or enjoy it right after making it. Eat it simply with bread or alongside any side dish. Enjoy!
