This recipe sounds great - I think it's the first time I've ever seen a beet burger! The plate is really pretty too.

Thanks! I also like eating them on top of a salad. Trick is just to eat them while they are still hot.
I got the plate at http://www.Zarahome.com If I could I would buy nearly everything they sell :)
