Guest guest Posted June 28, 2006 Report Share Posted June 28, 2006 Marinated Beets 8 medium beets 2 tablespoons walnut oil 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon fruit vinegar (raspberry, pear or cassis) 3 small garlic cloves, crushed or minced 1/2 teaspoon salt freshly milled black pepper 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese toasted walnuts 1/4 cup packed, coarsely minced fresh mint leaves extra sprigs of mint, for garnish Heat to 400 degrees. Wrap beets in aluminum foil with 1/2 inch of stems slightly exposed. Bake 45 to 50 minutes. Rinse beets under cold running water and rub off the skins. Trim off the stems. Dry beets on paper towels. Slice in half lengthwise, then into very thin half-moons. Place beets in a bowl. Add walnut oil, vinegar, garlic, salt and pepper and mix well. Cover tightly and refrigerate at least 12 hours (24 is best). Stir beets occasionally. (Or, place all ingredients in a sealable plastic bag and tumble them when you open the refrigerator during the day.) Serve cold topped with feta cheese, toasted walnuts and mint. Makes 4 servings.
