BALSAMIC ROASTED BEET SALAD



Balsamic Roasted Beet Salad image

Provided by Ina Garten

Time 1h20m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

8 medium-size beets, tops removed and scrubbed
1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
1/2 cup good olive oil
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard, such as Grey Poupon
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 ounces baby arugula
1/3 cup roasted, salted Marcona almonds, toasted
4 ounces soft goat cheese, such as Montrachet, crumbled

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
  • Wrap the beets individually in aluminum foil and place them on a sheet pan. Roast them for 50 minutes to 1 hour, depending on their size, until a small sharp knife inserted in the middle indicates that they are tender. Unwrap each beet and set aside for 10 minutes, until cool enough to handle. Peel the beets with a small, sharp knife over a piece of parchment paper to prevent staining your cutting board.
  • Meanwhile, whisk together the vinegar, olive oil, mustard, 2 teaspoons salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper and set aside. While the beets are still warm, cut each one in half and then each half into 4 to 6 wedges and place them in a large mixing bowl. As you're cutting the beets, toss them with half of the vinaigrette (warm beets absorb more vinaigrette), 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Taste for seasonings.
  • Place the arugula in a separate bowl and toss it with enough vinaigrette to moisten. Put the arugula on a serving platter and then arrange the beets, almonds, and goat cheese on top. Drizzle with additional vinaigrette, if desired, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and serve warm or at room temperature.

SEARED FISH WITH BEET SALSA



Seared Fish With Beet Salsa image

I made this with cod, but you can also use a firmer fish, which you can grill or broil as well as sear and bake, as I do in this recipe. Cut the beets and apple very small - about 1/8 inch dice. The sweet crunch of the apple contributes texture and juice to the tangy/pungent salsa, which is delicious with all sorts of foods, not just fish. If you're vegetarian or vegan, try it with grains; it's especially nice with red quinoa.

Categories     dinner, main course

Time 1h

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 medium or 4 small beets, preferably a mix of golden, Chioggia and red, roasted, peeled and cut in very small dice (smaller than 1/4 inch) (about 1 cup very small dice)
2 to 3 serrano or jalapeño chiles, minced
1/4 cup chopped cilantro (more to taste)
Salt to taste
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice (more to taste)
2 tablespoons minced shallot or chives (optional)
1/2 small tart apple, cored and cut in very small dice (smaller than 1/4 inch)
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 1/2 pounds cod fillets (or other light-fleshed fish of your choice, like halibut or tilapia
Salt and freshly ground pepper
1 tablespoon sunflower oil, grapeseed oil or extra virgin olive oil
Juice of 1 lime

Steps:

  • Combine all of the ingredients for the salsa in a medium bowl. Stir together, taste and adjust salt. Set aside for 30 minutes or longer.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Season the fish with salt and pepper. Heat a heavy ovenproof skillet over high heat and add the oil. Tilt the pan to film the bottom. Add the fish fillets and cook for 1 minute, or until you can easily slide a spatula underneath and turn the fish over (you may have to do this in two batches so that you don't crowd the fish).
  • Turn the fish over and place in the oven for 5 to 10 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillet (5 minutes per 1/2 inch thickness), until the fish is opaque and can be pulled apart with the tines of a fork. Remove from the heat and transfer to plates or a platter. Squeeze lime juice over each piece of fish and serve, garnishing each serving with a generous spoonful of salsa.

BEET SALSA

The beet, better known as the beetroot down under, is very popular in Australia. This versatile beet salsa turns burgers and fish into something quite special! This recipe is from an Australian recipe website. Enjoy!

Provided by Nif_H

Categories     Sauces

Time 10m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 beets, trimmed
1 tablespoon coarse grain mustard
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
1 shallot, trimmed, thinly sliced
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Wearing rubber gloves to avoid staining your hands, peel the beet. Coarsely grate the beet into a large glass or ceramic bowl.
  • Combine the mustard and lemon juice in a small bowl. Stir the mustard mixture, dill and shallot into the grated beets. Season with salt and pepper.

Tips:

  • Roasting the beets before making the salsa intensifies their flavor and gives the salsa a smoky, caramelized taste.
  • Use a variety of beets for a colorful and flavorful salsa. Golden beets and Chioggia beets are great options, in addition to the traditional red beets.
  • Beets can be roasted ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. This makes it easy to make the salsa ahead of time for a party or potluck.
  • If you don't have time to roast the beets, you can use pre-cooked beets from the grocery store. Just be sure to drain them well before adding them to the salsa.
  • Feel free to adjust the amount of jalapeño pepper in the salsa to suit your taste. If you like a spicy salsa, add more jalapeño. If you prefer a milder salsa, remove the seeds and ribs from the jalapeño before adding it to the salsa.

Conclusion:

Roasted beet salsa is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be used on tacos, burritos, nachos, and even salads. It's also a great way to use up leftover beets. With its vibrant color, smoky flavor, and refreshing acidity, roasted beet salsa is sure to be a hit at your next party or potluck.
