Beet Pesto

Place a couple tablespoons of the Olive Oil in a sauce pan and add the chopped onions and four of the garlic, cooking slowly until just tender. When almost done add the chopped red peppers, toss, and cook for another couple minutes. Remove from heat and set aside. Trim the ends off the beets then wash and scrub them. Then grate them with a fine grater, making sure not to leave any big chunks. Place in food processor with the rest of the ingredients, including contents of sauce pan, the lemon juice, and the remaining raw garlic. Pulse food processor until well mixed, pouring olive oil until it's smooth. Tweak spices to taste. Add cheese if you wish.
