Beet Citrus Salad With Pistachios Recipe 435 Food

GLAZED BEETS WITH CREME FRAICHE AND PISTACHIOS

Steps:

• For the beets, preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Massage each beet with about a teaspoon of oil and season with salt and pepper. Individually wrap each beet in aluminum foil. Place the beets on a baking sheet and bake for about an hour, or until you can easily pierce them with a knife.
• When the beets have cooled enough to handle but are still warm, unwrap them and rub them with a dry kitchen towel or paper towels to remove their skin. Cut the beets into quarters and allow to cool completely.
• Fill a high-sided saute pan with 1/4 cup of water, the honey and butter and place over medium-high heat; stir gently. Once the mixture begins to thicken and form a glaze, turn off the heat, add the cooked beets and toss to coat them in the glaze. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
• For the pistachios, toast them in a small saute pan over medium heat just until they're warm and you can smell their "pistachio-ness." Cool and chop or crush them slightly; they should remain chunky to give good crunch to the dish.
• For the creme fraiche, place it in a bowl and mix with the lemon zest and about half the chopped mint. Refrigerate until you're ready to assemble the dish.
• To serve, spoon the creme fraiche mixture over the bottom of a medium serving dish. Place the warm beets (reheat them if necessary) on top of the creme fraiche in a single layer. (Resist the urge to pile these beauties high; you'll want to be getting creme fraiche and beet in every bite.) If there's any glaze leftover in the pan, pour it over the beets. Sprinkle the pistachios over the beets. Tear the parsley leaves with your fingertips and let them fall naturally over the beets. Sprinkle on the rest of the mint, add a few grinds of fresh black pepper and you're good to go.

ROASTED-BEET AND CITRUS SALAD WITH RICOTTA AND PISTACHIO VINAIGRETTE RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Fold a 12- by 24-inch sheet of aluminum foil in half to form a square. Crimp two edges to form a pouch. Toss beets, 1 tablespoon (15ml) olive oil, rosemary or thyme sprigs (if using), and salt and pepper to taste in a medium bowl until beets are coated. Add to pouch and crimp remaining edge to seal. (If using multiple colors of beets, roast in separate pouches.) Transfer to a rimmed baking sheet and place in oven. Roast until beets are completely tender and a toothpick or cake tester inserted into a beet through foil meets little to no resistance, about 1 1/2 hours. Remove from oven and allow to cool. When beets are cool enough to handle, peel by gently rubbing skin under cold running water. Cut beets into 1 1/2-inch chunks. Beets can be cooked and stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
• Place pistachios in a mortar and pound with pestle until lightly crushed but not totally pulverized. (You can also chop them with a knife.) Transfer half of nuts to a large bowl and reserve the rest for garnish.
• Add grapefruit juice, orange juice, lemon juice, shallot, minced herbs, and honey to bowl with pistachios and whisk to combine. Drizzle in remaining 3 tablespoons (45ml) olive oil while whisking constantly. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
• To Serve: Toss beets and citrus with vinaigrette in a large bowl (if using red beets, toss them separately from everything else) and season to taste with salt and pepper. Spread half of ricotta over a serving platter, place dressed beets and citrus on top, dollop with remaining ricotta, sprinkle with reserved pistachios, and serve.

MIXED GREEN SALAD WITH BEETS AND PISTACHIOS

Steps:

• Whisk the vinegar, orange juice and mustard in a medium bowl until smooth. Slowly drizzle in the olive oil, whisking constantly, until well combined and thick and season with salt and pepper.
• Mix the baby arugula and kale together in a large bowl. Slice the beets very thin using a mandolin and add to the greens with the pistachios. Pour the vinaigrette over top and toss gently to combine.

GOLDEN BEET AND CITRUS SALAD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Place the beets on a large piece of aluminum foil. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil and sprinkle generously with salt and pepper. Place the orange peels among the beets. Fold the aluminum foil up and around the beets to create a closed packet.
• Place the packet on a baking sheet and roast until the beets are tender and the edges of the orange peels begin to caramelize, 45 to 50 minutes. Open the packet carefully and discard the orange peels. Allow the beets to cool slightly, about 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, prepare the components of the salad: Slice the peeled oranges into 1/4-inch-thick rounds. Use a horizontal peeler to make long, thin strips of the cucumber from end to end. Make the dressing by whisking the Greek yogurt with the mint and lemon zest and juice in a small bowl. Season the dressing with salt and pepper. Set aside.
• Once the beets have cooled slightly, use the edge of a paring knife to peel off the skins. Slice the beets into 1/4-inch-thick rounds.
• To assemble the salad, arranges the sliced beets in a shingled pattern on a serving platter. In between every 2 to 3 slices of beets, slip a round of orange into the mix. Using a small spoon, dollop the yogurt dressing onto the salad. Curl the cucumber ribbons over the surface of the salad. Drizzle the platter with the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil. Sprinkle with the pistachios and pomegranate seeds. Serve chilled or at room temperature.

ROASTED BEET AND BEET GREEN SALAD WITH WARM PISTACHIO SALSA VERDE

Steps:

• For the salad: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• In a bowl, toss the beets with the olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Transfer to the lined baking sheet. Bake until the beets are tender, 30 to 40 minutes.
• For the salsa verde: In a food processor, combine the parsley, cilantro, mint, scallions, lemon zest and juice and a small pinch of red pepper flakes if using. Pulse until just combined.
• Combine the oil and garlic in a medium skillet and slowly heat on low until the garlic just begins to sizzle. Turn off the heat. Stir in the pistachios and herb mixture. Season generously with salt and pepper.
• In a large salad bowl, toss the beet greens with the baby kale. Top with roasted beets, crumbled goat cheese and pomegranate seeds. Drizzle with the salsa verde.
• Any extra salsa verde can be stored in the refrigerator and served over fish, chicken or roasted vegetables.

ROASTED BEET SALAD WITH ARUGULA, PISTACHIOS AND SHAVED PECORINO

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Place all the large beets on a sheet tray and bake for 40 to 45 minutes or until a fork slides in and out of the beets easily. Add the baby beets to the tray for the last 20 minutes of cooking time. When the beets have cooled, peel them. Slice the large beets into 1/2-inch thick slices. Cut the baby beets in half.
• Place the arugula in a bowl and drizzle in about half of the vinegar and olive oil and season generously with salt. Toss the salad gently to incorporate all of the ingredients. TASTE IT! It should taste very flavorful but not soggy. Arrange the arugula on 4 individual salad plates. Toss all of the beets together in the salad bowl and add the remaining oil, vinegar and salt, and toss. Arrange the dressed beets on the arugula and top with the pistachios and shaved pecorino.
• Voila!

CITRUS BEET SALAD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• If using baby beets wrap 3 to 4 beets together in foil packets and place them on a baking pan; if using large beets, wrap them individually. Roast the beets until they're tender and a paring knife slips easily into their centers, about 20 minutes for baby beets and 30 to 40 minutes for large beets. Remove the beets from the oven and, once cool enough to handle, open the foil packages.
• Meanwhile, peel and segment the oranges. Cut off the tops and bottoms of the oranges so that they sit flat on the cutting board. Using a sharp paring knife, slice off the skin from top to bottom, removing the peel and pith so that no white is left on the orange. Slice along each membrane to cut out the individual segments. Place the segments in a large bowl. Add the onion, olives, and mint.
• Using a paper towel, rub the skins off of the beets. Cut the beets into quarters. Add them to the bowl with the oranges, season with salt and pepper, and then drizzle some olive oil and lime juice over the salad. Toss and serve immediately.
