Beets and Berries

 

Recipe By :Bev Bennett

Serving Size : 2 Preparation Time :0:00

Categories : Month08 Salads

 

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

4 small to medium beets

1 teaspoon grated gingerroot

3 tablespoons white wine vinegar

1 tablespoon fresh orange juice

1 teaspoon grated orange rind

3 tablespoons brown sugar

Salt and freshly ground black pepper -- to taste

1/2 cup blueberries

 

1. Wash beets and trim off any stems. Place in a pot with water to cover. Bring

to a boil, reduce heat and simmer 20 to 30 minutes, until beets are fork-tender.

Pour off water and set beets aside until cool enough to handle.

 

2. Peel off beet skins and cut beets into small dice (about the size of the

berries). Combine gingerroot, vinegar, orange juice and rind, brown sugar, salt,

and pepper. Pour over beets and toss well.

 

3. Set aside for 15 minutes to allow beets to absorb dressing. When serving toss

in blueberries.

 

REVIEW - The berries were perfectly ripe; paired very well with beets. Our

version: canned beets (not pickled); balsamic vinegar (not white wine); ground

coriander (not orange zest). Served on a bed of romaine lettuce. Menu:

eggbeaters fritatta with leek and zucchini. Reduced fat crescent with almonds.

NOTES : Beets and Berries is perhaps the most unusual ingredient combination in

this book, and perhaps the biggest surprise. Cook tender sweet beets and flavor

with ginger, vinegar, orange juice, and brown sugar. Then toss with plump, ripe

blueberries.
