Ингредиенты
- 1 lb beets Juice of 3 oranges Zest of 1 orange
- 1/4 c. unsalted butter - (1/2 stick) Salt to taste Freshly-grnd black pepper to taste

Инструкции
- Heat the oven to 375 degrees.
- Trim the leaves off the beets, leaving about an inch of stem. Set the beets in a roasting pan. Bake till the skins are crinkled and loose and a sweet beety smell permeates the kitchen. Medium-sized beets should take about 1 1/2 to 2 hrs, small ones about 1 1/2 hrs.
- Peel the beets and cut into 3/8-inch cubes. Place the orange juice, orange zest, beets and butter in a shallow saucepan or possibly a skillet. Cook over low to medium heat for 15 min - stirring occasionally - then raise the heat to high to reduce the cooking liquid, about 2 min. The beets should be coated with an orange glaze. Taste. Salt if necessary, and add in plenty of freshly grnd pepper.
- Turn into a hot serving dish and top with the almonds. Squeeze the orange half over the cooked beets and garnish with the chervil. Serve immediately. This dish could be served as a side dish to meat. But it is so exquisite, so vibrant and delicious, which it deserves to be served as a starter in its own right.
