Dirty Lou's Stinky Surprise

Ingredients

• 2 cups chopped beets (raw or pickled)

• 1/3 cup steamed coco almonds

• 2 tbs salt

• Animal lard

• Canned sauerkraut

Directions

1) Puree the beets until thick but "mushy"

2) Chop the almonds and mix in with the beet puree with your hands

3) Mix in the salt

4) Mix in enough animal lard so that the mixture becomes thicker. This is called your "beet plop"

5) Separate the beet plop into 4 smaller, equal sized "beet ploppers"

6) Liberally top with sauerkraut.

7) Set on cooking pan, let sit in oven at 85 F for 6-8 hours or until the "'stink' reminds you to take them out" :)

8) Serve and enjoy!

Notes: Traditionally, it is customary for the youngest diner to mix the sauerkraut in with everyone's beet plop before saying a prayer to enjoy the meal. Afterwards a polite wet burp or pleasant grumble is in order to thank the chef for a flavorful dish, and the more pronounced, the better the meal! (Nowadays it is considered impolite to remain quiet after enjoying this meal)
