ROASTED BEETS WITH CHILES, GINGER, YOGURT AND INDIAN SPICES
The pungent spices, zingy fresh ginger, dollops of tangy yogurt and fiery green chiles found in Indian cuisine tame the sugary beets in this recipe and open up a whole new universe of flavor. In traditional Indian cooking, beets are usually boiled or steamed, then often made into vegetable curries or chutney. But here they are roasted, which intensifies their sweetness.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 375 degrees. Peel the beets and cut into 1-inch chunks. Toss with the oil and season with 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper. Roast for 30 minutes, tossing occasionally, then sprinkle with mustard seeds, coriander and cumin and roast until the beets are tender, about 15 minutes more.
- While the beets roast, prepare the dressing: using the side of a knife or mortar and pestle, mash the garlic with a pinch of salt until it forms a paste. Place yogurt in a bowl; whisk in garlic paste, jalapeño, ginger, 1/4 teaspoon salt and lime juice. Whisk in the cilantro.
- Scrape the warm beets into a large bowl. Stir in the dressing and pomegranate seeds, if using. Taste and adjust seasonings if necessary.

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.

ROASTED BEETS WITH DILL-AND-CHIVE YOGURT DRESSING
This dill-and-chive-flecked yogurt dressing is a riff on Indian raita and Greek tzatziki, condiments that temper spicy dishes. It's used here on a refreshing salad of roasted golden beets with crunchy cucumbers and green apple. (Feel free to slice up a jalapeno to spark some heat.)

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Drizzle beets with oil; season with salt. Wrap in parchment-lined foil and roast until tender when pierced with the tip of a knife, about 1 hour. Let stand until cool enough to handle, then rub off skins and cut into 1/4-inch slices.
- Whisk together yogurt, mayonnaise, lemon juice, dill, and chives. Season with salt and pepper. Toss apple with 3 tablespoons dressing. Arrange beets on a platter; top with apple and cucumber. Drizzle with dressing and sprinkle with jalapeno; serve.
Tips:
- Choose the right beets: Look for beets that are small to medium in size, with smooth, firm skin. Avoid beets that are bruised or have blemishes.
- Roast the beets properly: To ensure evenly roasted beets, toss them in oil and spices before roasting. Roast them at a high temperature (425°F) for about an hour, or until they are tender when pierced with a fork.
- Make the yogurt sauce ahead of time: The yogurt sauce can be made up to 3 days in advance. This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
- Use fresh herbs and spices: Fresh herbs and spices add a lot of flavor to this dish. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but reduce the amount you use by half.
- Serve the beets warm or cold: Roasted beets can be served warm or cold. If you are serving them warm, let them cool slightly before slicing and serving. If you are serving them cold, chill them for at least 30 minutes before slicing and serving.
