Roasted And Pickled Beets Recipes

EASY ROASTED PICKLED BEETS SALAD

Steps:

• Remove greens from beets. Scrub the beets free of any dirt.
• Cut the ends off the beets and loosely wrap them in foil (you can wrap them all together, no need to wrap them individually). Roast in a 400°F oven for an hour or until they are easily pierced with a fork. Let them cool to the touch. Then add them to a quart sized mason jar.
• Make the brine by combining the cider vinegar, sugar and dry mustard. Whisk ingredients together with a fork. The dry mustard will help to emulsify the brine. Adjust to taste. Add salt and pepper to taste.
• Pour brine over beets and make sure the brine covers all the beets. If it doesn't either remove some beets or make additional brine. Let your beets marinate at room temperature for at least 30 minutes with lid off. After 30 minutes, place lid on the mason jar of beets and store at the back of the refrigerator.
• This beet recipe will stay fresh for up to one month (if they last that long). Always ensure food safety though and check beets before eating - if they smell bad, do not eat. If bubbles are in the jar, do not eat.

PICKLED BEETS

Steps:

• Place beets in a large stockpot with water to cover. Bring to a boil, and cook until tender, about 15 minutes depending on the size of the beets. If beets are large, cut them into quarters. Drain, reserving 2 cups of the beet water, cool and peel.
• Sterilize jars and lids by immersing in boiling water for at least 10 minutes. Fill each jar with beets and add several whole cloves to each jar.
• In a large saucepan, combine the sugar, beet water, vinegar, and pickling salt. Bring to a rapid boil. Pour the hot brine over the beets in the jars, and seal lids.
• Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then carefully lower the jars into the pot using a holder. Leave a 2 inch space between the jars. Pour in more boiling water if necessary until the water level is at least 1 inch above the tops of the jars. Bring the water to a full boil, cover the pot, and process for 10 minutes.

PICKLED BEETS

Steps:

• Remove the skin from the Roasted Beets and slice thinly. Arrange in 1-quart jars alternating layers with the onion. In a small pot boil the rest of the ingredients and pour over the beets. Tightly lid the jars and place in the refrigerator for 3 to 7 days before serving.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• In a large bowl toss all of the ingredients. Place into a foil pouch and roast in the oven for 40 minutes.

ROASTED EGGPLANT AND PICKLED BEET SANDWICHES

Steps:

• For roasted eggplant and garlic mayo:
• Preheat oven to 400°F. Place eggplant slices on a large rimmed baking sheet and rub both sides with oil. Season with paprika, salt, and pepper. Roast until golden and tender, 30-40 minutes.
• Whisk garlic, mayonnaise, and vinegar in a small bowl; set aside.
• For beet salad and assembly:
• Toss scallions, herbs, beets, olives, capers, and oil in a medium bowl to combine.
• Spread cut sides of focaccia with garlic mayo. Build sandwiches with focaccia, eggplant, feta, and beet salad.
• DO AHEAD: Eggplant can be roasted 1 day ahead. Cover and chill.

ROASTED-BEET AND PICKLED-RED-ONION SALAD

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 degrees. Place the red beets in a roasting pan and the white beets in another roasting pan. Drizzle each pan of beets with 2 tablespoons olive oil; season with salt and pepper. Cover pans with foil; roast about 1 1/2 hours, until beets are just tender when poked with a fork. Remove from oven; set aside until cool enough to handle.
• Meanwhile, combine the sliced red onions and vinegar in a small bowl, and let stand until the onions soften, about 30 minutes.
• Gently rub off beet skins. Cut larger beets in half; transfer to a serving bowl. Using a slotted spoon, lift onions out of vinegar; arrange over beets. Whisk horseradish into vinegar remaining in bowl. Whisk in the remaining 1/4 cup olive oil.
• Pour the vinaigrette over the beets and onions. Season to taste with salt and pepper; toss to combine, and serve.
