This simple beet dish is visually striking, full of nutrient-rich ingredients, and can marinate well ahead of serving time.
Ingredients
- 1 pound baby yellow or red beets, trimmed, scrubbed
- ½ cup Sherry or red wine vinegar, divided
- 2 tablespoons plus ¼ cup olive oil
- Kosher salt
- 1 medium shallot, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme
- ¼ cup raw pistachios, chopped
- 2 tablespoons coarsely chopped fresh tarragon
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°. Combine beets, ¼ cup vinegar, 2 Tbsp. oil, and ¼ cup water in a baking dish; season with salt. Cover with foil and steam until beets are tender, 40–50 minutes. Let cool slightly. Rub off skins with paper towels; cut beets into quarters (or ½” wedges if larger).
- Toss beets with shallot, thyme, remaining ¼ cup vinegar, and remaining ¼ cup oil in a large bowl; season with salt. Let sit at least 2 hours.
- Toss with pistachios and tarragon just before serving.
- DO AHEAD: Beets can be marinated 2 days ahead. Cover and chill.
