Ingredients

 
Medium beets - 6, roasted
 
Olive oil
 
Salt
 
Garlic - 2 cloves, crushed
 
Yogurt - 2 tbsp
 
Mayo (regular or vegan)- 2 tbsp
 
Curry powder - 4 tsp
 
Fresh lemon juice - 3 tbsp
 
Olive oil - 10 tbsp
 
Cilantro - 4 tbsp, chopped

Directions

GETTING READY
1 Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
2 Wash and trim the beets.
3 Wrap them individually in foil.

MAKING
4 In a shallow pan, place the beets.
5 Roast until tender, a sharp kitchen paring knife should pierce through the foil easily.
6 Set aside to cool.
7 In a bowl, mix dressing by combining all ingredients except oil.
8 When all the ingredients are smooth, whisk in the oil and set aside.
9 Unwrap the beets, and rub away the skin.
10 Slice into wedges.


SERVING
11 Set into your dish spoon curry over the beets and serve at room temperature.


TIP
Many people don’t prepare fresh beets because of the staining juices. Wearing laytex or vinyl gloves will protect your hands and preparing on a covered surface will protect your cutting board. I often roast beets without wrapping and use them skin included. However, this is an alternative method. Whatever method you use, it is well worth the effort!

Editors Review

Beets are loaded with healthy nutrients but many people don't like the taste. Our chefs shows how to jazz up your roasted beets and make them work for you. The dish is free of animal products and hence highly recommended for vegan friends as well. Its a make ahead dish for those who don't find much time for cooking. Bake the beets in the night and next day you can put up the dish in few minutes.

I'd love this with less messy but healthy great tasting golden beets or chiogga beets-the ones that are white and red swirl.
