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.

[email protected]The beets were a bit undercooked for my taste. I'll roast them for a few minutes longer next time.

[email protected]This recipe was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try it again with less balsamic vinegar next time.
Cebo Mhlongo
[email protected]I followed the recipe exactly and the beets turned out great. The balsamic vinegar sauce was a bit too tangy for my taste, so I added a little honey to balance it out.
