Fresh Dilled Beets image

Fresh beets are boiled and peeled, then marinated with dill in a sweetened vinaigrette. Great during the summer when you can pick up beets and dill at the farmer's market!

Time 8h40m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 bunch beets, trimmed, leaving 1 inch of stems attached
½ cup distilled white vinegar
¼ cup white sugar
1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill
¼ teaspoon ground cloves
¼ teaspoon ground allspice

Steps:

  • Place the beets into a large pot and cover with salted water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the beets are tender when pierced with a fork, 20 to 30 minutes. Drain and allow to steam dry until cool enough to handle. While the beets are boiling, whisk together the vinegar and sugar until the sugar has dissolved; set aside.
  • Once cool enough to handle, remove the skins from the beets and cut the tops off. Cut the beets into cubes or wedges, and add to the vinegar mixture. Season with the dill, clove, and allspice; toss until coated. Cover the bowl, and refrigerate the beets overnight before serving.

This recipe is a waste of time. The beets were tough and the sauce was flavorless.

This recipe is not for beginners. The instructions are not clear and I ended up overcooking the beets.

The beets took longer to cook than the recipe stated. I ended up having to cook them for an extra 15 minutes.

I found the recipe to be a bit bland. I added some garlic and chili flakes to give it a little more flavor.
