Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
------- ------------- --------------------------------
4 pounds trimmed beets (without tops) --unpeeled
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
12 oranges --rind and pith cut
free with a serrated knife and sections
cut away from the membranes
1 teaspoon freshly-grated orange zest
1/3 cup fresh orange juice
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup distilled vinegar
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt --to taste
Freshly-ground black pepper --to taste
2 red onions --thinly sliced
Chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley --for garnish

In a pot, combine the beets with the red wine vinegar and enough cold
water to cover them by 2 inches. Bring to a boil, lower the heat, and
simmer until tender, about 40 minutes. Drain the beets and let them
cool. (The beets may be cooked 1 day in advance and kept covered and
chilled.) Peel the beets and cut them into 1-inch wedges.
In a small saucepan, combine zest, orange juice, sugar, and vinegar and
boil the mixture until it is reduced to about 1/4 cup. Let the mixture
cool.
In a large bowl, whisk together the orange mixture, oil, and salt and
pepper to form a smooth dressing. Add the beet slices, orange segments,
and onion and mix until well combined. Let stand at room temperature,
or refrigerate for up to 6 hours, to let the flavors come together.
Transfer to a serving bowl and garnish with the parsley.

This recipe yields about 8 servings.
