Grilled Beets With Moroccan Dressing Recipes

Steps:

• Trim stems from beets.
• Wash well.
• Peel beets and cut into quarters.
• Rub beets well with oil.
• Season with salt and pepper.
• Place on low heat grill.
• Cook til tender and lightly browned.
• Serve warm or cold.

Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Spread beets onto a sheet of aluminum foil. Drizzle olive oil over beets and season with salt. Fold foil over beets, sealing the edges together to create a packet.
• Cook on the preheated grill, turning once, until beets are tender, about 30 minutes. Carefully open packet and top beets with feta cheese and chives. Close packet again and grill until cheese melts, about 5 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat.
• Coat one side of a large piece of aluminum foil with cooking spray. Place beets and butter on foil; season with salt and pepper. Wrap foil over beets.
• Place packet on the grill grate. Cook 30 minutes, or until beets are very tender. Allow beets to cool about 5 minutes before serving. You don't even need to peel to enjoy!

Steps:

• Prepare a charcoal fire or preheat a gas grill.
• Brush the beats with olive oil and place over medium-low coals. Cook raw beats slowly over heat until they are easily pierced, 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
• Remove from the barbecue, peel, then cut into thick slices.
• Meanwhile, blend the dressing ingredients. Combine garlic, onion, tomato, cilantro, cumin, curry powder, vinegar and olive oil. Toss with the beets. Taste for seasoning.
• Serve warm or at room temperature.
• Note: Canned beets can be substituted. Either skip first two steps, or place beets on the grill for only about 5 minutes to pick up some of the smoky goodness. Sliced beets should probably not be put on the grill unless you line it with some aluminum foil.

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 400.
• Wash 1 pound beets, wrap each in foil and put on a baking sheet.
• Put 1 pound carrot chunks on the baking sheet and toss with olive oil.
• Roast until a knife pierces the beets with little resistance, 45 to 90 minutes, and the carrots are tender and browned (remove when done; before the beets).
• When the beets are cool enough to handle, peel, and cut into chunks; toss them and the carrots with chopped almonds, 1/2 teaspoon each of cumin and coriander, a pinch of allspice, lemon juice and olive oil.
• Garnish: Mint.

Steps:

• Make the beets: Place beets in a large bowl and drizzle with olive oil; season with salt and pepper. Place each beet on an individual piece of parchment paper-lined aluminum foil; add a sprig of thyme to each and wrap to enclose.
• Preheat a grill: If using a charcoal grill, make a fire in your grill. When the charcoals are completely covered in gray ash, hold your hand about 5 inches above the grill grid; count how many seconds you can comfortably leave it there. When you can hold it there for 2 to 3 seconds, you have medium-high heat and are ready to grill. If you are using a gas grill, heat the grill for 15 minutes with the lid closed. Before beginning to cook, reduce the temperature by turning the knobs to medium-high.
• Place beets on grill and cook until tender, about 45 minutes.
• Make the dressing: Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, mix together goat cheese, goat's milk, fennel pollen, and honey; season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
• Unwrap beets and cut into 1-inch-thick slices. Brush slices with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Place on grill and cook, turning, until grill marks appear. Transfer to a platter and drizzle with olive oil and lemon juice; season with salt and pepper. Add dressing, garnish with sea salt, and sprinkle with chive blossoms, if using. Serve immediately.
