Serves: 2 - 4

Ingredients

• 1½ lbs beets


• 4 blood oranges (or regular oranges)


• ½ cup walnuts


• ½ cup chopped cilantro


• cup water for the bottom of baking pan


• ½ cup extra virgin olive oil to drizzle


• Sea salt

Instructions

1. Preparation:


2. Remove the greens and wash the beets thoroughly. Place them on a baking dish in which they all fit snugly.  Pour the water into the pan so that it covers about ¼ inch of the bottom of the pan. Drizzle the vegetables with the oil. Sprinkle with salt to taste and cover with aluminum foil. Cook at 350 degrees for approximately 45 to 60 minutes until you can pierce the beets with a fork all the way through.


3. While the beets are cooking, remove the peel from the oranges with a sharp paring knife. Cut in slices, starting from the end of the orange. Put aside.


4. Remove the beets from the oven and peel them. Quarter them and arrange them in a serving dish.  Add the orange slices, cilantro, and walnuts.  Taste again for salt, toss carefully, and drizzle with more oil if needed.
