Beets On The Grill Food

GRILLED BEETS IN ROSEMARY VINEGAR

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, mix balsamic vinegar, rosemary, garlic, and herbes de Provence. Place beets in the mixture, and marinate at least 20 minutes.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat, and lightly oil grate.
• Place the beets and marinade mixture on a piece of foil large enough to wrap all ingredients, and seal tightly. Place the foil packet on the prepared grill, and cook 25 minutes, or until beets are tender.
• Remove beets from the packet, and place directly on the grill grate for 2 to 5 minutes before serving hot.

ROASTED BEETS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
• Remove the tops and the roots of the beets and peel each one with a vegetable peeler. Cut the beets in 1 1/2-inch chunks. (Small beets can be halved, medium ones cut in quarters, and large beets cut in eighths.)
• Place the cut beets on a baking sheet and toss with the olive oil, thyme leaves, salt, and pepper. Roast for 35 to 40 minutes, turning once or twice with a spatula, until the beets are tender. Remove from the oven and immediately toss with the vinegar and orange juice. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and serve warm.

BEETS ON THE GRILL

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!

GRILLED FRESH BEETS

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.

GRILLED BEET SALAD WITH BURRATA AND CHERRIES

Steps:

• Prepare a charcoal fire in a grill. Let coals cool to medium heat (coals should be covered with ash and glowing red with no black remaining).
• Grill beets directly on coals, turning occasionally, until skins are blackened and flesh is fork-tender, 35-45 minutes. (Alternatively, grill, covered, on the grate of a gas or charcoal grill over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, 45-55 minutes.) Transfer to a large bowl and cover tightly with plastic wrap. Let steam until cool enough to handle.
• Wearing gloves if you don't want pink hands, pull charred skins off beets (they should slip off easily), then slice each beet into 6 wedges. Transfer to a large bowl, add vinegar, kosher salt, and 3 Tbsp. oil, and toss to combine.
• Arrange beet mixture on a platter. Top with burrata, cherries, and olives. Drizzle with oil; season with sea salt and pepper.
• Do Ahead: Beets can be grilled 2 days ahead. Let cool (do not peel); cover and chill.

GRILLED BEETS WITH MOROCCAN DRESSING

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.

ROASTED BEETS WITH DILL

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F. Place beets in small roasting pan with 1/4 cup water. Cover pan tightly with foil. Bake until beets are tender when pierced with knife, about 1 hour. Cool slightly. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate.) Peel beets. Cut into 1-inch pieces.
• Melt butter in heavy large skillet over medium heat. Stir in dill and lemon juice. Add beets and toss until heated through, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer to bowl; serve.
