Fennel Beets

The fennel beets are a super quick side dish with no preparation difficulties. Ideal to accompany main courses of meat, fish, or fresh cheeses. For the recipe, I used red beets, already cooked and boiled, which are available vacuum-packed. If you prefer, you can use those that are baked or cook them yourself, in this case, more minutes will be required for preparation.
