"To cook is to create. And to create well...is an act of integrity, and faith."

Two Coburg Salads

"To make a good salad is to be a brilliant diplomat - the problem is entirely
the same in both cases. To know how much oil to mix in with one's vinegar."
~ Oscar Wilde

Coburg Dilled Beet Salad
Gourmet Archives

1 2/3 pounds beets
1 tablespoon salt
3/4 cup tarragon wine vinegar
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 tablespoon sugar
4 cloves
1 teaspoon bruised juniper berries
1 teaspoon peppercorns
3 sprigs of dill
1 bay leaf
Snipped fresh dill

Scrub and trim the beets, leaving the roots and 1/2 inch of the tops
attached, and reserve the beet greens for another use.
In a saucepan brings 3 quarts water to boil, and add the beets and the
salt. Return the water to the boil. Cook the beets at a bare simmer,
covered, for 1 hour 30 minutes. Transfer the beets to a bowl (with
slotted spoon), reserving the cooking liquid in the pan, and let them
cool until they can be handled.
Peel the beets and add the peelings to the reserved cooking liquid. Slice
the beets thin and reserve them, covered. Reduce the cooking liquid over
high heat to about 1 1/2 cups and strain it into a stainless steel or enameled saucepan. Add the vinegar, the oil, the sugar, the cloves, the juniper berries, the peppercorns, the dill sprigs and the bay leaf and boil the dressing for
15 minutes.
In a heatproof salad bowl, combine the reserved beets and the dressing.
Let the salad cool and sprinkle it with snipped fresh dill. Serves 4.
