Steps:
- Place the cooked cut beets, oranges and fennel in a medium bowl. Add fresh herbs.
- Add dressing ingredients, and toss. ( It helps to warm the honey first if using- I just place the jar of honey in a bowl of hot water to loosen it.) Alternatively, you could whisk the dressing ingredients separately in a small bowl, then toss with the salad.
- Taste for salt and acid. Add more salt and vinegar to taste.

SWEET SAUTEED BEETS WITH AN ORANGE, ONION & FENNEL RELISH
I'm a beet lover ... and if you are, you will love this too. This is a great salad or a simple side dish which I have served it both ways. A mix of red and golden beets, pan sauteed and topped with an onion, fennel and orange relish. Serve this over a bed of spinach or other greens for a wonderful salad, or serve this as is - for a perfect side dish - sweet and tangy all in one. If you can only get red beets, that's fine. My local market and my farmers markets usually carry both red and golden and you can use one or the other, or a combination. Mandarin oranges are perfect for this, sweet, pre-segmented and ready to use, I actually prefer them over fresh in this dish. The beets are steamed and then sauteed, tossed with the vinaigrette and topped with the fresh relish. Note: This vinaigrette is great ... not only in this dish, but also over fish, scallops, green beans, asparagus, roasted cauliflower, chicken, pork or any of your favorite greens.

Steps:
- Vinaigrette -- Make this first and then just refrigerate until ready to use. In a small mixing bowl, or personally -- I like a small tupperware container, just add everything and shake, but a mixing bowl works good. Add the marmalade, vinegar, garlic, olive oil, chives, thyme, salt and pepper. Mix well and set to the side. It is even better made a few hours ahead, but it isn't necessary.
- Beets -- I make the beets all in one pan, but if you prefer to roast them in the oven first and then saute, that will work fine. I find it just as easy to fill a small sauce pan with water and add the beets. Make sure the water covers the beets. Cover and cook on medium low heat for approximately 20-30 minutes until tender but still firm. Remember, these will be peeled, diced and finished in a saute pan, so make sure they are tender, but a bit underdone - you don't want them falling apart.
- Relish -- As the beets cook, make the relish. To a small bowl, add the chopped oranges, fennel, onion, mandarin orange juice, olive oil, red pepper flakes, thyme, salt and pepper. Slightly chill before serving.
- Beets -- Once the beets are done, remove from the pan and let cool until you can handle them. The peel will slide right off. Don't run them under water, just slide the peel off with your hands. I do use gloves as your hands will turn red. You can also put the beet in a small baggie and rub the outside of the baggie and that also works pretty good or use the back of a spoon, that is another trick. Then cut the beets in bite size wedges, not too small.
- Saute -- In the same pan, dump out any remaining water, add the olive oil and butter and bring to medium high heat. Add the beets and saute, 3-5 minutes until fork tender. That is why you didn't cook them all the way in the water. You don't want them falling apart. The last minute add in the vinaigrette and heat until warm. I usually use about 1/2 of the vinaigrette, but use as much as you want too. I start slow as the beets will absorb some of the sauce. The leftover vinaigrette is great on other salads or vegetables.
- Serve -- Serve over a bed of your favorite greens, or you can just serve as is. Top with the onion, fennel and orange relish. Garnish with some of the orange segments if you want and ENJOY!
- The vinaigrette is great with roasted chicken, fish, pork or vegetables so make sure you save the leftovers. ENJOY !

FENNEL, BEET AND ORANGE SALAD WITH CUMIN VINAIGRETTE
One of the things I love best about this refreshing salad is that it doesn't wilt, making it a a great choice for a potluck or a buffet. There's a nice contrast of textures going on, with the crunchy fennel, soft beets and juicy oranges. The dish has Moroccan overtones, with the combination of oranges and beets, and the cumin in the dressing.

BEET RELISH
This is an excellent relish that will go with almost anything and does not need to be cooked. It is made with fresh horseradish that you grind up and is wonderful (could use horseradish in a jar/bottle). If you have some in the garden, please use it, but you can purchase it at the grocery store.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. For the tomato purée, halve the tomatoes and place them, skin side down, on a baking sheet. Sprinkle with the salt, garlic, and olive oil. Roast for 1 hour on the bottom shelf of the oven, then remove. Press through a sieve or pass through a food mill to remove the skins and seeds - you'll end up with about 1 1/4 cups of intensely flavored purée.
- Meanwhile, put the beets into a baking dish and drizzle with a little olive oil. Roast, above the tomatoes, for 1 to 1 1/2 hours (longer if necessary), until the skins are blistered, blackened, and loosened. Let cool a little before peeling. You'll find the skins will slide off easily. Coarsely grate the beets (a food processor makes this job easy).
- Put the sugar, vinegars, onion, and horseradish into a large saucepan; bring to a boil and cook for 5 minutes. Stir in the tomato purée and cook for a couple minutes more. Finally, add the grated beets and cook for about 10 minutes, until thickened. Transfer to sterilized jars and seal with vinegar-proof lids (see pp. 21-22). Use within 1 year. Refrigerate once opened.
- P.S.
- It's easy to pickle horseradish root. Just grate enough fresh root to fill a jam jar, sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of salt and 1 teaspoon of sugar, top up with cider vinegar, and seal with a lid. Use in sauces, dressings, and soups, and serve with roast beef.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400°. Wash beets, leaving some water on skins. Wrap individually in foil; place on a rimmed baking sheet and roast until beets are tender when pierced with a knife, about 1 hour. Let cool.
- Meanwhile, using a sharp knife, cut all peel and white pith from all oranges; discard. Working over a medium bowl, cut between membranes of 2 blood oranges to release segments into bowl; squeeze juice from membranes into bowl and discard membranes. Slice remaining blood orange and Cara Cara orange crosswise into thin rounds. Place sliced oranges in bowl with the segments. Add lemon juice and lime juice.
- Peel cooled beets. Slice 2 beets crosswise into thin rounds. Cut remaining 2 beets into wedges. Strain citrus juices; reserve. Layer beets and oranges on plates, dividing evenly. Arrange fennel and onion over beets. Spoon reserved citrus juices over, then drizzle salad generously with oil. Season to taste with coarse sea salt and pepper. Let salad stand for 5 minutes to allow flavors to meld. Garnish salad with cilantro leaves.
Tips:
- Choose the right beets: Look for beets that are small to medium in size and have smooth, unblemished skin. Avoid beets that are too large, as they may be woody.
- Prepare the beets properly: Before cooking, trim the tops and roots of the beets. Then, peel the beets and cut them into 1-inch cubes.
- Use a flavorful oil: Olive oil or avocado oil are good choices for sautéing beets. They will add a rich flavor to the dish.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When sautéing the beets, make sure to not overcrowd the pan. This will prevent them from cooking evenly.
- Add the orange, onion, and fennel relish towards the end of cooking: This will help to preserve the bright flavors of the relish.
- Serve immediately: Sautéed beets are best served immediately. They can be enjoyed as a side dish or as part of a main course.
Conclusion:
This recipe for Sweet Sautéed Beets with an Orange, Onion, and Fennel Relish is a delicious and easy way to enjoy this healthy root vegetable. The beets are tender and flavorful, and the relish adds a bright and tangy flavor. This dish is perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion.
