I am now living in Beijing, China. Kelani is in university in Louisiana. So many things to add to the recipe box.

Roasted Caramelized Beets

Hulya was talking about this in the teacher’s lounge, so I had to try it, very nice


1 kg beets
2 to 3 medium sized onions
6 cloves garlic, skin on, but rough end cut off

coarse salt
pepper
olive oil, ½ cup ish
balsamic vinegar about ¼ cup

Preheat oven to 200 C (390-400 F), my oven is convection so I used 180 C (350 F). Clean beets and cut off the end, I just peeled off the hairy parts and cut the ends, otherwise- skin on. Cut beets in half if they are not small. Take the skin off the onions and cut into quarters. Put these in a dish. Place the garlic around the beets and onions.

Pour olive oil over the mixture, pour balsamic vinegar over that, then sprinkle some salt and pepper over the mixture. Cover with foil (I used a cookie sheet because I ran out of foil, and it worked very well), and bake in the oven at least an hour until beets are tender.


When mixture has cooled a little, squeeze the garlic pieces and mix the paste with the mixture. Add to salad, or just as is.
