German Beet Salad With Caraway Seeds Recipes

Steps:

• Place beets in a saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil, cover, reduce heat, and simmer until beets can easily be pierced with a fork, about 45 minutes. Drain and cool slightly. Peel and slice beets; place into a large bowl.
• Combine apple cider vinegar, olive oil, sugar, salt, and pepper in a small bowl and pour over beets. Mix well. Add caraway seeds and mix again. Allow to chill 2 hours before serving.

Steps:

• Wash beets and trim off greens. Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil, add beets and cook, covered, until beets are tender. Remove from heat, drain, and peel and slice when cool.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the water, vinegar, caraway seeds, sugar, onion, horseradish, cloves, salt, pepper and oil. Add beets and toss to coat. Let stand for several hours, stirring occasionally. Serve at room temperature or chilled, as desired.

Steps:

• Cut the tops off the beets, leaving about 1" of the stem intact. Scrub the beets well then add them to a large pot with enough cold water to cover them by about 2". Add 1 tsp of the salt and bring to a boil. Once the boiling point is reached, reduce heat to low and cover the pot. Simmer until the beets show little resistance when pierced with the tip of a sharp knife. This may only take 30 minutes for young beets, much longer for more mature ones. Keep them consistently covered with water.
• Once cooked, drain the beets, reserving a small amount of the cooking liquid (about 1/4 cup). (You may or may not need this later on, so don't worry if you forget).
• When the beets are cool enough to handle, slip off the skins and then cut them crosswise into 1/8" slices. Place them in a deep glass or ceramic bowl.
• In a medium saucepan bring the red wine, vinegar, onion, cloves, coriander, peppercorns and remaining 1 tsp of salt to a boil. Immediately pour over the beets. It should cover them, if not, add more wine.
• Cool to room temperature then cover well and refrigerate for at least 24 hours.
• Before serving discard the whole cloves and peppercorns. Beat the olive oil and horseradish together in a small bowl and add to the beets. Mix gently but thoroughly. If you think the sauce is going to be too thick, you can now use that reserved cooking liquid to thin things down (beat in with the olive oil and horseradish), or use a bit of plain water.

Steps:

• Prepare the beets by trimming off the greens and the tips. Boil the beets in salted water until tender, approximately 45 minutes. Set aside to cool, then peel and cut into bite sized pieces. In a bowl, whisk together the remaining ingredients. Add the beets and toss to coat. Let stand for a few hours. This salad is best served at room temperature. Refrigerate any remaining salad.
