• Recipe: Beets in Orange Butter Sauce

  This is a guest post from Chow Times.
  

  

  For dessert, Minoo made Beets in Orange Butter Sauce.  Minoo roasted the beets the night before as it takes some time to do it.  Roasted beets are sweeter and have a deeper flavour than boiling them.

  To roast beets, preheat the oven to 375F.  Rinse beets clean and place in on a piece of aluminium foil.  Drizzle with some vegetable or olive oil.  Fold the foil over the beets and seal the package.  Bake until the beets are tender from 30 to 60 minutes depending on the size and number of the beets.

  You’ll probably need a pair of disposable kitchen gloves when handling beets as it will stained your hand reddish or purplish.
  

  Ingredients:

  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup orange juice
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 2 cups sliced cooked beets

  

  This recipe serves 4.

  Directions:

  Freshly squeeze the orange juice into a measuring cup.

  In a saucepan, combine sugar, cornstarch and salt.

  Stir in orange juice.

  Cook on low heat, stirring constantly, until thickened.

  Arrange sliced cooked beets on a plate.

  Drizzle with the orange sauce.

  Melt butter in a small saucepan.  Drizzle over the beets. Minoo, thank you for sharing these wonderful recipes.
