Roasted Beet Relish With Apricots Food

BEET RELISH

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F/200 °C.
• Take 1 large piece of foil and wrap the beets tightly together, sealing the foil well. Roast for 1 hour or until tender. Remove the beets from the oven and leave to cool in the foil for 20 minutes this will give the steam time to dissipate and will prevent any steam burns.
• Cut the cooled beets into thin slices, and then into thin matchsticks, then chop into fine pieces. Add the vinegar, sugar, celery seed and salt to a medium saucepan. Over medium heat, bring the mixture to a simmer until the liquid is reduced by half. Mix the corn starch with 1 teaspoon water and whisk into the vinegar. Simmer until thickened and remove from the heat.
• To a bowl add the beets and pour over the warm vinegar, mix well.
• Allow to sit at room temperature before refrigerating. Transfer to warm, sterilized jars ** see note.
• If not canning, the relish will keep for up 2 weeks sealed and refrigerated.

SIMPLE ROASTED BEET RELISH

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375 degrees F (190 C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Add peeled, cubed beets to a medium mixing bowl along with avocado oil (see notes for oil-free option), salt, and cumin.
• Roast beets for 35-40 minutes, or until fork tender and slightly golden brown / caramelized, tossing once at the 20-minute mark to ensure even baking. The longer they bake, the more tender and caramelized they become, but be careful not to overcook / burn, or they can become crispy and tough.
• Once roasted, add back to the mixing bowl from earlier and season with maple syrup, lime zest, and lime juice, and mix. Taste and adjust flavor as needed, adding more lime juice for acidity, lime zest for citrus flavor, cumin for smokiness, salt to taste, or maple syrup for sweetness. Garnish with fresh cilantro, if desired.
• Use immediately (on our Roasted Plantain Black Bean Bowl!), or cover and store in the refrigerator for up to 4-5 days. If the beets get dry in the fridge, add a bit more lime juice or a dash of water or olive oil before serving to make them saucier. Not freezer friendly.

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.

BEET RELISH

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients in a small bowl and blend well. Chill thoroughly.

BEET RELISH

Steps:

• Bring beet and enough water to cover beet to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat and simmer for 45-50 minutes (I boiled mine for closer to 30 minutes). Drain and let cool and then slip skins off of beets and chop in big pieces -- remember to let the food processor do the work!
• Put beets with the remainder of the ingredients in a food processor and pulse until finely chopped.
• Cover and refrigerate for up to one week.

ROASTED SWEET BEET RELISH

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F. For the tomato purée, halve the tomatoes and place them, skin side down, on a baking sheet. Sprinkle with the salt, garlic, and olive oil. Roast for 1 hour on the bottom shelf of the oven, then remove. Press through a sieve or pass through a food mill to remove the skins and seeds - you'll end up with about 1 1/4 cups of intensely flavored purée.
• Meanwhile, put the beets into a baking dish and drizzle with a little olive oil. Roast, above the tomatoes, for 1 to 1 1/2 hours (longer if necessary), until the skins are blistered, blackened, and loosened. Let cool a little before peeling. You'll find the skins will slide off easily. Coarsely grate the beets (a food processor makes this job easy).
• Put the sugar, vinegars, onion, and horseradish into a large saucepan; bring to a boil and cook for 5 minutes. Stir in the tomato purée and cook for a couple minutes more. Finally, add the grated beets and cook for about 10 minutes, until thickened. Transfer to sterilized jars and seal with vinegar-proof lids (see pp. 21-22). Use within 1 year. Refrigerate once opened.
• P.S.
• It's easy to pickle horseradish root. Just grate enough fresh root to fill a jam jar, sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of salt and 1 teaspoon of sugar, top up with cider vinegar, and seal with a lid. Use in sauces, dressings, and soups, and serve with roast beef.

BEETROOT RELISH

Steps:

• In a large pot, combine the beets, onion, red bell pepper, celery, sugar, and cauliflower. Season with salt, mustard seed, and celery seed, then stir in vinegar. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low.
• Simmer, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are tender, about 20 minutes.

BEET RELISH

• Inspect 4 pint-sized jars for cracks and rings for rust, discarding any defective ones. Immerse in simmering water until relish is ready. Wash new, unused lids and rings in warm soapy water.
• Combine beets, sugar, vinegar, lemon juice, and salt in a large pot. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, reduce heat, and simmer for about 20 minutes.
• Stir water and gelatin together in a cup and add to the beets. Boil for 7 more minutes.
• Pack relish into hot, sterilized jars, filling to within 1/4 inch of the top. Run a clean knife or thin spatula around the insides of the jars to remove any air bubbles. Wipe rims with a moist paper towel to remove any residue. Top with lids and screw rings on tightly. Store in a cool place.

SPICY BEET RELISH

Steps:

• Scrub beets and trim tops to 1 in. Place in a Dutch oven; add water to cover. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, covered, 45-60 minutes or until tender. Remove from water; cool. Peel and shred beets., In a Dutch oven, combine sugar and vinegar; cook and stir over medium heat until sugar is dissolved. Stir in shredded beets, horseradish, salt, cayenne and pepper; bring to a boil., Ladle hot mixture into hot 1-pint jars, leaving 1/2-in. headspace. Remove air bubbles and adjust headspace, if necessary, by adding hot relish. Wipe rims. Center lids on jars; screw on bands until fingertip tight., Place jars into canner, ensuring that they are completely covered with water. Bring to a boil; process for 15 minutes. Remove jars and cool. If desired, serve on baguette slices and sprinkle with lemon zest.

ROASTED-BEET AND APPLE RELISH

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°F.
• Tightly wrap beets in a double layer of foil and roast on a baking sheet in middle of oven until very tender, 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 hours. Cool in foil package until warm (the steam makes beets easier to peel), about 20 minutes.
• While beets are roasting, stir together vinegar, sugar, salt, and pepper in a large bowl until sugar and salt are dissolved. Cut apples into 1/4-inch dice and add to dressing along with horseradish. Toss well.
• When beets are cool enough to handle, slip off skins and remove stems. Cut beets into 1/4-inch dice and stir into apple mixture.
• Chill relish, covered, stirring occasionally, at least 2 hours (to allow flavors to develop) and up to 3 days.
