Ricks F@*#ing Russian-Style Beet Salad

1. 1

   Place the beets in a large stockpot, add enough water to cover them by a couple of inches, and bring the water to a boil over high heat.

2. 2

   Once its boiling, let it continue to boil until a fork slides into the beets with little resistance, about 30 minutes.

3. 3

   Remove the beets from the water and rinse with cold water.

4. 4

   Once theyre cool enough to handle, lop off the ends and peel them.

5. 5

   Next, shred them (a food processor makes quick work of them).

6. 6

   In a bowl, stir together the shredded beets with garlic to taste and the black pepper.

7. 7

   Stir in enough sour cream to turn the salad a nice violet color, but not pink.

8. 8

   (If its pink you may have overcooked the beets, not drained them well enough, or used too much sour cream.)

9. 9

   Serve as a side salad or use as a condiment.
