Vinegar sauce is a popular condiment for vegetables, and among the vegetables it pairs best with is the beet. Beets, with their sweet and earthy flavor, bring a unique twist to the tangy and sharp flavor of vinegar. The combination of the two creates a delightful balance of flavors that can be enjoyed as a side dish or as part of a main course. Additionally, the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties of beets, combined with the antimicrobial properties of vinegar, make this dish not only delicious but also beneficial for health.

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

8 medium beets (about 2 pounds total)
1/2 cup water
1/4 cup canola or other vegetable oil
6 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
2 to 4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, to taste
1 teaspoon coarse (kosher) salt
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  • 2. Trim the beets, leaving on the skin, an inch of the stem, and the wispy "tail" on the bottom of each, then scrub and drain. Place the beets in a small casserole dish just big enough to hold them. Pour the water and canola oil over the beets then cover tightly with a lid or aluminum foil and bake until tender and easily pierced with a sharp paring knife, about 1 1/2 hours.
  • 3. Remove the casserole from the oven and uncover the beets, keeping your face averted from the escaping steam. Allow the beets to cool completely in the casserole.
  • 4. Meanwhile, combine the vinegar, 2 tablespoons of the olive oil, the salt, and pepper in a medium-size bowl and whisk to blend. Taste and add more olive oil, if desired.
  • 5. Peel the cooled beets with the back of a paring knife and cut into 3/8-inch slices. Add to the dressing in the bowl and toss gently but thoroughly to coat. Serve immediately or marinate, in the refrigerator, for up to 24 hours.
