Best Grilled Beets With Moroccan Dressing Recipes

GRILLED BEETS WITH MOROCCAN DRESSING

Steps:

• Prepare a charcoal fire or preheat a gas grill.
• Brush the beats with olive oil and place over medium-low coals. Cook raw beats slowly over heat until they are easily pierced, 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
• Remove from the barbecue, peel, then cut into thick slices.
• Meanwhile, blend the dressing ingredients. Combine garlic, onion, tomato, cilantro, cumin, curry powder, vinegar and olive oil. Toss with the beets. Taste for seasoning.
• Serve warm or at room temperature.
• Note: Canned beets can be substituted. Either skip first two steps, or place beets on the grill for only about 5 minutes to pick up some of the smoky goodness. Sliced beets should probably not be put on the grill unless you line it with some aluminum foil.
