I was not a beet lover a few years back but a friend turned me onto grilled beets and now I'm hooked. This is a great recipe and one that is well worth the effort. Ingredients:
6 small fresh beets trimmed of all but 2 inches of greens and unpeeled |
2 medium red onions unpeeled |
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil |
1/3 cup chicken broth |
3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar |
1-1/2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves divided |
1 teaspoon salt |
2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper |
Directions:
1. Prepare a moderately hot charcoal fire in a grill unit that has a cover.
2. Place beets and red onions in a cast iron skillet and drizzle with olive oil then place skillet on grill rack over fire and cover the grill unit and roast the vegetables for 1-1/2 hours.
3. Remove vegetables from skillet with tongs.
4. Add broth, vinegar and 1 teaspoon thyme to the skillet then place over high heat and boil liquid scraping bottom of skillet for about 4 minutes.
5. Season with salt and pepper.
6. Peel beets and onions when cool enough to handle.
7. Slice beets into julienne strips and onions into thin rings then spoon liquid over onions and beets.
8. Add remaining 1/2 teaspoon thyme and stir well to combine.
9. Heat briefly and serve.
