Cut cooked beets in ¼ inch slices. Cut onion in half, then slice thinly. Layer beets and onion in a glass dish, bowl, or jar. Put remaining ingredients in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Pour over beets and onions, cover beets completely adding extra water if necessary. After they have cooled completely, cover and refrigerate for 3-7 days before serving.

To roast beets, wrap in aluminum foil and cook in a slow-cooker for 3-4 hours or in a 400 degree oven for 40 minutes. Peel after cooling.
To microwave beets, slice ¼ inch thick, place in a microwave-safe dish, add ½ inch water, cook on high for 2 minutes per cup of beets. Time varies depending on wattage of microwave.
To steam beets, peel the skins with a vegetable peeler, and cut into 1/4 inch slices. Place in steamer basket over water, turn heat to high and cook for 10-15 minutes.

October 5, 2020 By marketeditor

Adapted from Maryland Crab Cakes recipe by Jennifer Segal, onceuponachef.com
Servings: Makes 6 lions mane cakes, enough to serve 3 adults as the main course

Ingredients
*Ingredients currently available at the farmers’ market

For the lion’s mane cakes

● 2 large eggs*
● 2-1/2 tablespoons mayonnaise
● 1-1/2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
● 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
● 1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
● 1/4 teaspoon salt
● 1/4 cup finely diced celery*, from one stalk
● 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley*
● 1 pound Lions Mane*, chopped into small pieces
● 1/2 cup panko
● canola oil, for cooking

For the tartar sauce
● 1 cup mayonnaise
● 1-1/2 tablespoons sweet pickles*, diced small
● 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
● 1 tablespoon minced red onion*
● 1-2 tablespoons lemon juice, to taste
● Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions
For the lion’s mane cakes
1. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy clean-up.
2. Combine the eggs, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire, Old Bay, salt, celery, and parsley in a large bowl and mix well. Add the Lions Mane and panko; using a rubber spatula, gently fold the mixture together until just combined. Shape into 6 cakes (each about ½ cup) and place on the prepared baking sheet. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. This helps them set.
3. Preheat a large nonstick pan to medium heat and coat with canola oil. When the oil is hot, place the cakes in the pan and cook until golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes per side. Be careful as oil may splatter. Serve immediately with tartar sauce or a squeeze of lemon.

For the tartar sauce
Mix all ingredients together in a small bowl. Cover and chill until ready to serve.
