Marinated Golden Beets

This is my favorite way to prepare beets- it is super simple and delicious. I make a batch at the beginning of the week, so I can toss them in salads for lunches and light suppers.

4 small to medium golden beets
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup champagne or white wine vinegar
1/4 cup olive oil
1 shallot, thinly sliced
1 clove garlic, minced or grated on a microplane
1 teaspoon cumin seeds, crushed
1 teaspoon coriander seeds, crushed

1.     Place beets in a saucepot and cover with water, bring to a simmer and cook until beets are easily pierced with a pairing knife. Strain beets from water, cool, and peel. An old kitchen towel makes peeling a breeze- simply rub the beets gently and the skins will come right off.

2. Cut the beets into bite sized pieces. Combine beets, salt, vinegar, oil, shallot, garlic, and spices in a bowl and toss to combine. Store in the refrigerator overnight before serving.
