Maple & Sea Salt Caramel Beets :: Chef Mark Cleveland @ Hungry Harvest ::




Difficulty: Easy

Time: 25 mins,

Servings: 1 Pint



If you’re not yet a true fan of this amazing super food give this preparation a try.  Serve them as a side dish, or room temp in place of a salad.  They are great w/ brunch.  Add some cooked sticky rice for a scrumptious & beautiful dish.

Ingredient
Prep Method
1
Large
Beet





Peel the beet & cut into thin bite sized slices.



2
Cups
Water

1/2
Teaspoon
Sea salt
Avanti Lavender Sea Salt
1/2
Teaspoon
Pumpkin pie spice




Put into a covered skillet with 2 cups water, with the salt & spice.  Cover & set over high heat for 12 to 15 mins, until beets are mostly tender & liquid is well reduced. 



1
Tablespoon
Organic butter
unsalted
3
Tablespoons
Maple syrup

1/3
Cup
Tangerine juice
Zest optional




Add in the butter, maple syrup & tangerine juice & heat uncovered over medium high heat for 10 to 12 mins until the sauce is thick and glistening & the beets are nicely tender & fully flavored by the sweet & slightly salty sauce. 




I served this garnished w/ Maple & Salt Caramel Beets on apricot halves w/ fresh blueberries along side Harvest Mac & Cheese #1.  



While beets do stain the skin, the vibrant pink color washes off easily w/ soap and water.  That’s why beets are not used to dye fabric, but you can cut a simple design into a beet, dip them in water and make some really cool dyed paper.  Try it w/ the kids.  Cook the beet stamps in water briefly for deeper color.
