Directions

  • If cooking in a sous vide water bath, preheat the water bath to 183 degrees and allow 45-60 minutes for cooking before serving.
  • Wash and peel beets then cut into ½” pieces, then place them in a sous vide bag, zest the orange and add zest with all other ingredients, seal bag, trying to keep the thickness of the bag less than 1” for even cooking. Place in water bath and cook for 45-60 minutes.
  • If not using a sous vide, add beets to a skillet over medium heat with ½ cup water, cover, and steam until barely soft, then mix with all other ingredients and finish cooking until beets are tender and glazed.
  • These beets are also great over a green salad, or served with soft burrata, small mozzarella balls, or crumbled feta.
