Beets Corn And Tomatoes In Red Wine Vinaigrette Recipes

RED WINE VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• Place all ingredients in a jar with a tight-fitting lid; shake well. Refrigerate until serving. Just before serving, shake dressing again.

ROASTED BEETS WITH FETA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Wrap each beet individually in aluminum foil, and place onto a baking sheet.
• Bake beets in preheated oven until easily pierced with a fork, 45 minutes to 1 hour. Once done, remove from oven, and allow to cool until you can handle them. Peel beets, and cut into 1/4 inch slices.
• While the beets are roasting, whisk together shallot, parsley, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and red wine vinegar in a bowl until blended; season to taste with salt and pepper, and set aside.
• To assemble the dish, place the warm, sliced beets onto a serving dish, pour vinaigrette over the beets, and sprinkle with feta cheese before serving.

BEETS, CORN AND TOMATOES IN RED WINE VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Put the beets in the oven on a rack and bake for an hour and a half, or until tender when pierced with a fork. When the beets are cool enough to handle, slice them into half-inch pieces and put them in a bowl.
• Combine the mustard, vinegar, oil, salt and pepper. Arrange alternating rows of diced beets, corn and tomatoes on a rectangular serving plate.
• Sprinkle the dressing on the vegetables. Sprinkle chervil on the beets and tarragon on the tomatoes. Season the corn with extra pepper. Serve at room temperature.

ROASTED BEETS WITH WARM FENNEL VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Put the fennel in a medium bowl, cover with ice water and set aside.
• Put the beets in a 3-quart casserole dish and toss with the chicken broth, 1 tablespoon of the olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Cover the dish with foil and bake for 45 minutes. Remove the foil; if there is 1/4 inch or less of liquid, add 1/2 cup of warm water. Continue baking, uncovered, until the cooking liquid is reduced by half and the beets are fork-tender, 25 to 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, whisk the vinegar, butter, remaining 2 tablespoons oil and mustard in a measuring cup. Strain the fennel and toss with the vinegar mixture in a large bowl. Add the dressed fennel to the beets, toss with tongs and continue baking until the fennel is crisp-tender, about 15 minutes. Remove the dish from the oven, stir the beets and fennel to coat with the sauce and season with 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Transfer to a serving bowl and garnish with the chives.

BEETS IN VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• Cover beets generously with water in a heavy medium saucepan and simmer until tender when pierced in center with a knife, 30 to 45 minutes. Drain in a colander and cool to warm, then slip off skins. Cut beets into 1/4-inch slices.
• Meanwhile, whisk together vinegar, onion, sugar, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a large bowl. Add oil in a slow stream, whisking, then add warm beets and parsley and toss. Season with additional sugar and salt. Serve warm or at room temperature.

BEETS WITH CREAMY BALSAMIC VINAIGRETTE AND MINT

Steps:

• Wrap the garlic cloves together in a piece of parchment paper; wrap each beet separately in parchment. Place the garlic and beets in a microwave-safe dish and cook for 3 minutes. Remove the garlic and set aside, still wrapped. Continue to cook the beets in intervals of 2 minutes, until they can be easily pierced with a knife, 8 to 10 minutes. Let sit wrapped in parchment to complete the cooking process and until cool enough to handle, about 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, whisk together the yogurt, broth, vinegar, oil and 1/8 teaspoon salt in a small bowl. Peel the garlic cloves, mash completely and whisk into the vinaigrette. Season with salt and pepper. (Alternatively, make the vinaigrette with the microwave-roasted garlic up to a few hours in advance to allow the flavors to blend. Cover and refrigerate. Bring to room temperature before serving.)
• Peel the beets using a paring knife and cut into wedges or slices. Arrange on a platter, drizzle with the vinaigrette and sprinkle with the mint and pistachios. Serve immediately, while still warm.

BLACK BEANS, CORN, AND TOMATOES VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• In a large saucepan combine the black beans and enough cold water to cover them by 2 inches, bring the water to a boil, and simmer the beans for 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until they are just tender but not mushy. Drain the beans and in a bowl combine them with the corn, the tomato, the scallion, and the minced coriander. In a small bowl whisk together the oil, the lemon juice, and the salt, pour the dressing over the vegetables while the beans are still warm, and let the salad cool, stirring occasionally, until the beans are room temperature. The salad may be made 1 day in advance and kept covered and chilled. Serve the salad, garnished with the coriander sprigs, at room temperature or chilled slightly.

ROASTED POTATO AND BEET SALAD WITH RED WINE VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400 degrees F.
• Toss diced potatoes with 3 tablespoons of olive oil and garlic. Salt generously and sprinkle with rosemary.
• Arrange in a single layer on a rimmed cookie sheet and roast about 15-20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, toss diced beets with remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil and onion, salt generously.
• Arrange in a single layer on a rimmed cookie sheet and put in oven with potatoes until potatoes begin to brown.
• While potatoes and beets are finishing in the oven, mix together vinaigrette: vinegar, mustard, 1/3 cup olive oil, salt and pepper.
• Remove potatoes and beets from pan and add 'pan drippings' to vinaigrette.
• Drizzle warm potatoes and beets with vinaigrette and either arrange veggies side-by-side on a platter (to minimize the color bleed) or for a more casual meal, gently toss them together in the same serving dish.
