Hasselback Beets With Dill Yogurt Sauce Recipes

ROASTED HASSELBACK BEETS WITH DILL DRESSING

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Peel the beets and cut "hasselback" style." Place on a non-stick baking sheet and drizzle with oil and season with salt and black pepper.
• Roast for 1 hour or until easily pierced with a knife.
• While beets are roasting, whisk together vinegar, oil, honey, dill, salt and black pepper.
• When ready to serve, drizzle beets with vinaigrette.

HASSELBACK BEETS WITH DILL YOGURT SAUCE

Steps:

• Trim, peel and halve 2 1/2 pounds medium beets; slice as directed (see left). Place the beets in a 9-by-13-inch baking dish and drizzle with 3/4 cup olive oil; season with 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Add cup water and cover with foil. Roast at 425 degrees F, 40 minutes. Uncover and continue roasting, spreading the slices apart and basting with the pan juices halfway through, until the beets are tender, 30 to 40 more minutes. Let cool slightly. Mix 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt with 2 tablespoons each chopped dill and lemon juice, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Drizzle over the beets and top with crushed pink peppercorns and more dill.
• Cut a thin sliver from one side of the vegetable so it can sit flat. (If you¿re starting with halved veggies, like the beets at right, skip this step.)
• Position the vegetable cut-side down between the handles of two wooden spoons.
• Using a sharp knife, make crosswise cuts (1/8 to 1/4 inch apart), stopping when the knife hits the handles so you don't cut all the way through the vegetable.

THICK YOGURT WITH BEETS, GARLIC AND DILL

Steps:

• Boil beets until tender, about 20 minutes. When cool enough to handle, rub skins off baby beets with a kitchen towel. Coarsely grate beets.
• In a mixing bowl, combine garlic, lemon juice and 1 teaspoon salt. Stir in yogurt and olive oil, then beets and dill. Season to taste with additional salt and pepper. Chill until ready to serve.

GARLICKY BEET SPREAD WITH YOGURT, DILL AND HORSERADISH

Steps:

• To roast beets, heat oven to 375 degrees. Place beets in a small baking dish and drizzle with olive oil. Add 3 tablespoons water to bottom of dish and cover tightly with foil. Bake until tender, about 1 to 1 1/2 hours, turning beets after 45 minutes. Let cool, then peel.
• Using a food processor, grind walnuts, garlic and salt until very finely ground. Scrape down sides of bowl. Add the peeled beets, oil, yogurt, lemon juice, dill and horseradish and pulse until relatively smooth. Taste for seasoning and add more lemon or salt, or both, if needed. Serve with latkes or fritters, or use as a dip for vegetables.

BEETS WITH DILL, LIME, AND YOGURT

Steps:

• Remove any greens and scrub the beets under warm water.
• Pour 1 1/2 cups of water into the pressure cooker pot. Insert the steamer basket and put the 6 beets in the basket. Cook on high pressure for 30 minutes. Release the pressure manually. Test the beets by piercing them with a fork; they should be tender. If not, cook on high pressure again for another 5 to 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, grate the zest off the lime and reserve it; then cut the lime into wedges.
• When the beets are tender, transfer them to a large bowl and let them cool until you're comfortable handling them. Working quickly, skin the beets while they are still warm (they are harder to peel after they've entirely cooled down). You can use a paring knife to skin them, or rub the skins off with a paper towel.
• Cut the peeled beets into slices or wedges, and arrange them on a platter. Drizzle with olive oil, and then squeeze some of the fresh lime juice over them.
• In a small bowl, whisk together the yogurt, garlic, and reserved lime zest. Drizzle the dressing over the beets and top with the dill, flaky sea salt, and lots of black pepper.

• Whisk together yogurt, mayonnaise, lemon juice, dill, and chives. Season with salt and pepper. Toss apple with 3 tablespoons dressing. Arrange beets on a platter; top with apple and cucumber. Drizzle with dressing and sprinkle with jalapeno; serve.
