GRILLED BEETS WITH MOROCCAN DRESSING
"Beets cooked over the barbecue grow smoky and rich. You can also use canned beets."
4 to 6 raw, unpeeled beets (or use peeled, cooked beets)
olive oil (for brushing)
FOR THE MOROCCAN DRESSING:
3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 onion, finely chopped
1 ripe or canned tomato, chopped
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon curry powder
1 tablespoon vinegar or lemon juice
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 pinch sugar
salt, to taste
ground cayenne, to taste
Prepare a charcoal fire or preheat a gas grill.
Brush the beets 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; (precooked beets should be placed over the heat just long enough to develop a smoky aroma, about 5 minutes). Remove from the barbecue, peel if necessary, then cut into thick slices.
Blend the dressing ingredients and toss with the beets. Taste for seasoning. Serve warm or at room temperature.
