Best 8 Minted Fried Beets With Balsamic Vinegar Sauce Recipes

EASY, TASTY BEETS

Steps:

• Shred beets in a food processor.
• Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir shredded beets in hot butter until slightly softened, about 5 minutes.
• Pour water over the beets, cover skillet with a lid, and simmer beets until completely softened, about 10 minutes. Stir balsamic vinegar with the beets; season with salt and pepper.

MINTED FRIED BEETS WITH BALSAMIC VINEGAR SAUCE

Steps:

• In a large saucepan cover beets with salted water by 1 inch and simmer, covered, until tender, about 35 mintues. Drain beets in a colander and cool until they can be handled. Slip off and discard skins and stems. Beets may be prepared up to this point 3 days ahead and chilled, covered.
• Make sauce:
• In a very small saucepan simmer sauce ingredients, stirring occasionally, until reduced to about 1/4 cup. Remove pan from heat and let sauce stand, covered, 15 minutes. Pour sauce through a fine sieve into a small bowl and cool. Sauce may be made 3 days ahead and chilled, covered. Bring sauce to room temperature before serving.
• Make batter:
• In a bowl whisk together flour, mint, and salt and add water, whisking until combined (batter will be lumpy).
• Cut beets into 1/4-inch-thick slices. In a deep 9-inch skillet heat oil over moderately high heat until 375°F. on a deep-fat thermometer. Working in batches, dip beet slices in batter and fry, without crowding, until golden and crisp, about 1 minute on each side, making sure oil returns to 375°F. before adding next batch. Transfer beets as fried to paper towels and drain. Beets may be made 2 hours ahead and reheated on a baking sheet in a 425°F. oven 10 minutes.
• Serve beets with sauce on the side for dipping.

BEETS WITH CREAMY BALSAMIC VINAIGRETTE AND MINT

Steps:

• Wrap the garlic cloves together in a piece of parchment paper; wrap each beet separately in parchment. Place the garlic and beets in a microwave-safe dish and cook for 3 minutes. Remove the garlic and set aside, still wrapped. Continue to cook the beets in intervals of 2 minutes, until they can be easily pierced with a knife, 8 to 10 minutes. Let sit wrapped in parchment to complete the cooking process and until cool enough to handle, about 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, whisk together the yogurt, broth, vinegar, oil and 1/8 teaspoon salt in a small bowl. Peel the garlic cloves, mash completely and whisk into the vinaigrette. Season with salt and pepper. (Alternatively, make the vinaigrette with the microwave-roasted garlic up to a few hours in advance to allow the flavors to blend. Cover and refrigerate. Bring to room temperature before serving.)
• Peel the beets using a paring knife and cut into wedges or slices. Arrange on a platter, drizzle with the vinaigrette and sprinkle with the mint and pistachios. Serve immediately, while still warm.
