Servings: 6
Ingredients
- 5 lrg Beets, (about 2 pounds)
- 1/2 c. Fresh orange juice
- 1 tsp Grnd cumin
- 1 Tbsp. White wine vinegar
- 1Â 1/2 Tbsp. Honey

- 3. As soon as beets are cold sufficient to handle, slip the skins off and cut into 1/4-inch slices.
- 4. In a small bowl, mix together the orange juice, cumin, vinegar, honey and cornstarch. Stir till cornstarch is well incorporated.
- 5. Place liquid mix in a large, nonstick saute/fry pan and heat over medium-high heat. Add in the butter and salt. Bring to a boil and add in the sliced beets. Cook, turning beets as necessary, till they are warm and nicely glazed. Place on a serving platter or possibly in a large, shallow bowl.
- 6. Mix together the walnuts, orange zest and parsley; sprinkle over the beets.
- Chef's Note: You can prepare this recipe partly in advance: Just roast, peel and slice the beets ahead of time. This can be done up to 3 days in advance. Then finish the rest of the recipe procedure per instructions.
