Beet salad with oranges and cognac-honey sauce
Very unusual use of the ordinary beet, and also a great excuse to "dispose of" new "alcohol residue". This salad with a fresh and unusual taste astounded and delighted my guests at new year party. Try it and you...

Ingredients

  • Beets

    3 piece

  • Orange juice

    1 cup

  • Orange

    1 piece

  • Honey

    2 Tbsp

  • Cognac

    2 Tbsp

  • Orange zest

  • Pine nuts

Cooking

step-0
Here our products. Almost all, only the honey does not hit the frame. :-) Beets bake in a preheated 180-200 degree oven (pre-wrapped in foil). It will take approximately 60-80 minutes (depending on size). It is best to use a small elongated roots.
step-1
Ready beet to remove the skin, cut into thin slices 3-4 mm thick. If the fetus is large, then large circles to cut two or four pieces (depending on size). The thinner the slices, the better – I have this time got fat.
step-2
For the sauce: a glass of orange juice (I made fresh juice from two oranges) pour into a saucepan or a small saucepan, add half the zest and bring to a boil. Then add 2 tablespoons of honey (I have buckwheat honey) and 2 tablespoons brandy. On low heat, stirring occasionally, boil down about two times. Finally add the remaining zest. In the original recipe there is added a pinch of pink pepper, but I don't use it – in my household this is not usual. It turns out it is still very tasty.
step-3
Hot sauce to pour over prepared beets. Leave to infuse until cool. You can slightly salt – to taste. I salt in this salad do not use. You can cook the beets with the sauce in advance, but not more than a day – otherwise it will give too much juice.
step-4
Orange peel, to remove all film, leaving only the pulp. Cut into small pieces (each slice into 2-3 pieces).
step-5
Before serving mix beets with oranges. A handful of pine nuts to dry on a dry frying pan and sprinkle the salad. Bon appetit!
