ROASTED BEETS WITH YOGURT, PISTACHIOS AND CORIANDER



Roasted Beets With Yogurt, Pistachios and Coriander image

This sophisticated side is easy enough for a weeknight, but fancy enough for entertaining thanks to a few unexpected additions: Seasoned Greek yogurt forms the basis of an effortless sauce, while toasted coriander seeds and chopped pistachios add texture. Roasting sweet, earthy beets concentrates their flavor, and a splash of balsamic balances out their sweetness. This dish can be prepared in advance and served hot, cold or at room temperature, but its assembly should be done just before serving so the toasted coriander seeds and roasted pistachios retain their crunch.

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

8 small beets (about 2 pounds total)
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon ground coriander
Kosher salt and black pepper
2 teaspoons whole coriander seeds
2/3 cup plain full-fat Greek yogurt
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
1/4 cup roughly chopped roasted pistachios

Season generously with salt and pepper and spread out in an even layer. Roast, tossing once halfway through, until almost fully tender, about 25 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, toast the coriander seeds in a small skillet over medium, shaking the skillet, until golden and fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Set aside.
  • Season the yogurt with salt and pepper and spread it on a platter. Add the remaining olive oil and the balsamic to the roasted beets and toss to coat; season.

ROASTED BEETS WITH CHILES, GINGER, YOGURT AND INDIAN SPICES



Roasted Beets With Chiles, Ginger, Yogurt and Indian Spices image

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.

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, more to taste
Pepper, to taste
1/2 teaspoon black mustard seeds
1/2 teaspoon coriander seeds
1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds

Pomegranate seeds for garnish, optional

  • Scrape the warm beets into a large bowl. Stir in the dressing and pomegranate seeds, if using. Taste and adjust seasonings if necessary.

Tips:

  • Choose the right beets: Look for beets that are small to medium in size, with smooth, unblemished skin. Avoid beets that are too large, as they may be woody.
  • Roast the beets properly: To ensure that the beets are evenly roasted, toss them in a little olive oil and salt before roasting. Roast them at a high temperature (400°F or 200°C) for about an hour, or until they are tender when pierced with a fork.
  • Make the yogurt sauce in advance: The yogurt sauce can be made up to a day in advance. This will give the flavors time to meld and develop.
  • Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs, such as cilantro and mint, add a bright, vibrant flavor to the dish. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but use only about half the amount.
  • 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 adding the yogurt sauce. If you are serving them cold, chill them for at least an hour before serving.

Conclusion:

Roasted beets with yogurt, pistachios, and coriander is a delicious and healthy dish that is perfect for any occasion. The beets are roasted until tender and caramelized, and the yogurt sauce is creamy and tangy. The pistachios and coriander add a nutty and aromatic flavor to the dish. This dish is sure to impress your guests, and it is also a great way to get your daily dose of vegetables.
