8 ingredients
4 steps

Ingredients

  • 6 beets(each 1 1/2 to 2 inches in diameter), scrubbed and trimmed, leaving about 1 inch of the stems attached
  • 3/4 cup water
  • 2 garlic cloves, unpeeled
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon minced fresh coriander
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons red-wine vinegar, or to taste
  • 1 teaspoon minced white part of scallion
  • 5 walnut halves, toasted and chopped (about 2 teaspoons)

Directions

  1. 1
    In a 2-quart microwave-safe round glass casserole with a lid, microwave the beets with the water and the garlic, covered, on high power(100%), stirring every 2 minutes, for 6-9 minutes, or until they are tender when pierced with a fork, transferring them to a cutting board as they are cooked and reserving the garlic, and let them cool.
  2. 2
    Peel the beets, halve them, and slice them 1/4 inch thick.
  3. 3
    Peel the reserved garlic, mash it to a paste with the flat side of a heavy knife, and in a serving bowl stir it together with the oil, the coriander, the vinegar, the scallion, and salt and pepper to taste.
  4. 4
    Stir in the sliced beets and sprinkle the mixture with the walnuts.
