Beet Question - Gourmet_Mom - 06-22-2008
Jean's recipe calls for 4 large or 8 medium beets. Mine are very irregularly sized...some the size of marbles, I need to know how Jean's 4 large would measure out roasted. I've got about 2 cups. Should I halve the recipe?

I think halving it would work. I had 8 largish medium and had enough for 2 dinners and froze enough for probably a dozen more ravioli.

One thing I've learned with ravioli - I never match the amount of dough to the filling. I ended up with more dough, so just made some cut pasta with the rest. If it had been the other way, I probably would have tossed the filling with some hot pasta. (oh, that sounds good!)

I found the coolest site yesterday before the internet went out. It has all kinds of Ingredient Equivalents ...including my beets. I needed to know if I needed to reduce the ricotta and butter so as not to overwhelm the flavor of the beets.

that's a great site, Daphne! I have a few books that show different equivalents, but not to that extent.
