**Roasted Beet, Red Onion, and Cranberry Relish: A Symphony of Sweet, Tangy, and Earthy Flavors**
In a culinary world teeming with delectable dishes, the Roasted Beet, Red Onion, and Cranberry Relish emerges as a true masterpiece, a harmonious blend of sweet, tangy, and earthy flavors that tantalize the taste buds. This versatile relish, showcased in three distinct recipes, transcends the boundaries of ordinary condiments, transforming everyday meals into extraordinary culinary experiences.
**Recipe 1: Roasted Beet and Red Onion Relish**
This classic recipe forms the foundation of the relish's flavor profile. Roasted beets, with their naturally sweet and earthy notes, intertwine with the sharp, pungent kick of red onions, creating a delightful balance of flavors. A touch of vinegar adds a hint of tanginess, while a sprinkle of fresh herbs, such as thyme or rosemary, introduces an aromatic complexity.
**Recipe 2: Cranberry and Orange Relish**
In this variation, the vibrant tartness of cranberries takes center stage, complemented by the sweet and citrusy zest of oranges. The addition of orange juice lends a refreshing brightness, while a touch of honey or maple syrup harmonizes the flavors, creating a relish that is both tangy and comforting.
**Recipe 3: Roasted Beet and Cranberry Relish with Goat Cheese**
This recipe elevates the relish to a gourmet-level appetizer or spread. Creamy and tangy goat cheese joins forces with the roasted beet and cranberry relish, creating a luscious and flavorful combination. Spread it on crackers or crostini, top it on grilled chicken or fish, or indulge in it as a dip for fresh vegetables.
CRANBERRY AND ROASTED BEET SALAD
I created this as a healthy, tasty side dish to complement Christmas dinner. This enticing substitute for cranberry relish is excellent with turkey. Even the children loved it! Serve the beet blend alone or on a bed of salad greens. -Brianna St. Clair, Worland, Wyoming

SPICY RED PEPPER CRANBERRY RELISH
A kicky condiment, usually made with cranberries, can offset the neutral (read: bland) yet rich nature of the Thanksgiving meal. This hot red-pepper cranberry relish with jalapeños and cayenne fits the bill. You can keep the seasoning somewhat tame, or ramp up the heat to taste. It will keep for 2 weeks or so; make it in advance, as soon as cranberries are available, and have it on hand in the fridge through the holiday season.

SIMPLE ROASTED BEET RELISH
Steps:
- Heat oven to 375 degrees F (190 C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Add peeled, cubed beets to a medium mixing bowl along with avocado oil (see notes for oil-free option), salt, and cumin.
- Roast beets for 35-40 minutes, or until fork tender and slightly golden brown / caramelized, tossing once at the 20-minute mark to ensure even baking. The longer they bake, the more tender and caramelized they become, but be careful not to overcook / burn, or they can become crispy and tough.
- Once roasted, add back to the mixing bowl from earlier and season with maple syrup, lime zest, and lime juice, and mix. Taste and adjust flavor as needed, adding more lime juice for acidity, lime zest for citrus flavor, cumin for smokiness, salt to taste, or maple syrup for sweetness. Garnish with fresh cilantro, if desired.
- Use immediately (on our Roasted Plantain Black Bean Bowl!), or cover and store in the refrigerator for up to 4-5 days. If the beets get dry in the fridge, add a bit more lime juice or a dash of water or olive oil before serving to make them saucier. Not freezer friendly.

BEET RELISH
"I LIKE to serve beet relish with corned beef and cabbage. The relish provides an interesting combination of flavors, and it is best made several days ahead. It's a very colorful addition to the table."

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. Roasting the beets brings out their natural sweetness and flavor. To roast the beets, simply toss them with a little olive oil and salt, and then roast them at 425 degrees Fahrenheit for about 45 minutes, or until they are tender.
- Use fresh cranberries. Fresh cranberries are the best choice for this relish, as they have a tart and tangy flavor that complements the sweetness of the beets. If you can't find fresh cranberries, you can use frozen cranberries, but be sure to thaw them completely before using.
- Chop the ingredients finely. The relish should have a fine dice, so be sure to chop the ingredients finely. This will help the flavors to blend together and create a smooth texture.
- Use a food processor if you have one. A food processor can make quick work of chopping the ingredients and creating a smooth relish. If you don't have a food processor, you can chop the ingredients by hand, but it will take a little longer.
Conclusion:
This roasted beet, red onion, and cranberry relish is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be used to add flavor to a variety of dishes. It's perfect for topping grilled chicken or fish, or as a side dish for roasted vegetables. It can also be used as a spread for sandwiches or wraps. No matter how you choose to use it, this relish is sure to be a hit.
