Ingredients
- 6 beets, trimmed and scrubbed (NOTE: Do not pat dry.)
- 1/2 orange, sliced into wedges
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1 tsp olive oil
- 6 oz plain yogurt
- 1 tsp jarred prepared horseradish
- 1/4 tsp kosher salt
- 2 tbsp finely chopped fresh mint
- 1 oz toasted unsalted walnuts, chopped
Preparation
- On a large sheet of foil, add beets, orange and garlic. (TIP: Position garlic away from beets to prevent garlic from coloring.) Drizzle with oil. Gather edges of foil together to form a loose packet. Wrap with an additional sheet of foil. Poke a few holes in top of packet.
- Add packet to a 4-qt slow cooker. Cover and cook on high for 3 to 4 hours, until beets are fork-tender. Transfer packet to a plate. With oven mitts, carefully open packet. Let cool for 15 minutes, until just cool enough to handle. Discard orange and reserve garlic.
- Meanwhile, prepare sauce: In a blender or food processor, blend yogurt, horseradish and reserved garlic until smooth. Transfer to a small bowl and stir in salt.
- With a paring knife, carefully peel away beet skin. Slice beets into 1/4-inch rounds. To serve, top with sauce, mint and walnuts.
