BEETS IN ORANGE SAUCE



Beets in Orange Sauce image

Categories     Vegetable     Side     Bake     Low Sodium     Orange     Beet     Winter     Healthy     Engagement Party     Bon Appétit

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 large beets, trimmed
1 cup orange juice
2 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons (1/4 stick) butter
1 tablespoon minced orange peel (orange part only)
2 teaspoons red wine vinegar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°F. Wrap 2 beets together in foil. Repeat with remaining beets. Place on baking sheet. Bake until tender, about 1 hour 15 minutes. Cool. Peel beets. Cut each into 8 wedges.
  • Combine beets and remaining ingredients in medium nonaluminum saucepan. Simmer over medium heat until sauce is syrupy, stirring often, about 8 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
  • (Can be made 1 day ahead. Chill. Rewarm over low heat, stirring often.) Serve hot.

Tips:

  • Choose small to medium-sized beets for a sweeter taste and more tender texture.
  • Trim the beet greens, leaving about 2 inches attached to the roots. This helps to prevent the beets from bleeding during cooking.
  • Boil or steam the beets until tender, about 20-30 minutes. You can also roast them in the oven at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for about 45 minutes.
  • Once the beets are cooked, let them cool slightly before peeling and slicing them.
  • Use a sharp knife to peel and slice the beets. This will help to prevent them from shredding.
  • Make the orange sauce while the beets are cooking. This will allow the flavors to develop.
  • Serve the beets warm or at room temperature. They can be served as a side dish or as a main course.

Conclusion:

This sweet orange sauce is a delicious and versatile way to enjoy beets. The sauce is made with fresh oranges, ginger, and honey, and it has a sweet and tangy flavor that pairs perfectly with the earthy sweetness of the beets. This dish is also very easy to make, and it can be served as a side dish or as a main course.
