ROASTED BEETS WITH GINGER



Roasted Beets With Ginger image

I have no idea where Mom found this recipe but she sent it to me and asked me to prepare it for Thanksgiving. We enjoyed it immensely, so much so I'm posting it to share.

Provided by justcallmetoni

Categories     Vegetable

Time 1h5m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 lbs beets (about 6 small to medium beets)
1 1/2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 1/2 tablespoons finely grated ginger
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
salt
pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  • Carefully scrub the beets clean trimming off the leaves and the long root tip. Tightly wrap beets in aluminnum foil and place in oven for 40-50 minutes or until the beets are tender and the skin is loose. Remove from oven and cut a slit in the foil to allow the steam to escape.
  • Allow the beets to cool enough so that you can handle them. Trim the ends and peel the skin. The skin should slip of quite easily. If not then perhaps the beets need a bit more cooking. Cut the peeled beets into sixths or eighths - depending on the size of your beets.
  • Heat oil under medium low heat. Add ginger and cook one or two minutes. Keep the heat low as you are looking to release the flavor. If your ginger sizzles or browns, then your heat is too high. Add the beets and cook two or three minutes. Add balsamic vinegar and cook another minute or so. The oil, vinegar and ginger should create nice glaze covering the beets.
  • Serve and enjoy.

GINGER PICKLED BEETS



Ginger Pickled Beets image

Serve these beets as part of a picnic platter or relish tray, or use them in sandwiches or salads. Golden beets work as nicely as red ones. Leaving beet tails and an inch or so of the stems intact helps minimize the loss of color (as well as flavor and nutrients) during cooking. Trim and peel the beets after they've been boiled; the skins will come off easily.

Yield makes 1 quart

Number Of Ingredients 5

5 or 6 medium red beets (about 1 1/2 pounds without greens), tails and about 1 inch of stems left intact
1/2 cup thinly sliced, peeled fresh ginger (about 1 1/2 ounces)
1 1/2 cups rice wine vinegar
1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon coarse salt

Steps:

  • Prepare an ice-water bath; set aside. Cover the beets with cold water by 2 inches in a large saucepan. Bring to a boil; reduce heat. Simmer the beets until tender when pierced with the tip of a knife, about 30 minutes. Transfer the beets with a slotted spoon to the ice-water bath. Discard the cooking liquid. Trim the beets, and rub off the skins with paper towels, or peel the beets with a paring knife. Cut the beets into very thin rounds; transfer to a large bowl.
  • Bring the ginger, vinegar, sugar, and salt to a boil in a medium saucepan, stirring until the sugar is dissolved. Pour the liquid over the beets; stir. Let stand until completely cool, at least 1 hour. Transfer to an airtight container, and refrigerate up to 1 month.
