Ingredients:

  • 8 small beets (about 1 3/4 lb)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/8 tsp salt
  • 1/8 tsp black pepper

Directions:

  1. Leave root and 1 inch of stem on beets; scrub with a brush. Place in a large Dutch oven; cover with water. Bring to a boil; cover, reduce heat, and simmer 45 minutes or until tender. Drain and rinse under cold water; drain.
  2. Place oil and orange rind in a small nonstick skillet, and cook over low heat 5 minutes or until oil is fragrant. Remove from heat.
