Number of Servings:
Ingredients:
- 2 pounds - Golden beets, with tops* About 10 large
- 3/4 cups - Extra-virgin olive oil Divided use
- 1/2 cups - Water
- 1 pounds - Oranges
- 1/4 cups - Red wine vinegar
- 2 tablespoons - Fresh mixed herbs (combo of parsley, mint, basil, thyme and tarragon, if available) Chopped
- - Sea salt, to taste
- -
- - Fresh cracked black pepper, to taste
Directions:
1. Heat oven to 350.
2. For Beets: Cut off the tops of the beets at the base of the stems (these can be cooked, if desired; see Note). Trim the root ends of the beets. Leave the skin on the beets, wash them, and place them in a roasting pan; toss the beets w/ 1/4 C olive oil, then add water. Cover w/ aluminum foil. Roast beets for 45 min, or until soft. Test them by inserting a toothpick. Once they are tender, romve beets from oven and set aside to cool slightly.
Using a hand towel, gently rub off the skins while they're still warm. Once they're peeled, dice beets to desired size and set aside in refrigerator.
3. Peel oranges. Then, working over a bowl, use a sharp paring knife to cut each orange sement free from the membranes. Drop the segments (called supremes) into a bowl, and squeeze the remaining part of the orange to extract as much juice as possible. (Refrigerate if doing this a couple of hours ahead of time.)
4. Toss chilled beets w/ orange segments, orange juice, remaining 1/2 C olive oil, red wine vinegar and chopped mixed herbs. Season to taste w/ sea salt and fresh cracked black pepper.
5. Serve immediately.
