Receta de remolachas ahumadas

Ingredientes

• 10 beets (fresh, 2-3 inches, red (or yellow or orange), skin on)
• 1 tbsp dill (fresh)
• 1 tbsp red wine
• 2 tsp olive oil
• 1 tsp honey
• 1 tsp lemon (juiced (substitute orange juice))
• 1/4 tsp garlic salt
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1/4 cup feta cheese (crumbles (substitute goat cheese))
• 1 tbsp almonds (slivered)
• 1/8 tsp black pepper (fresh cracked)
• 1 cup arugula

Preparación

1. 1

   Preheat pellet grill: Preheat Traeger Grills or Pitt Boss or whatever pellet grill you’re using to 300 degrees F.

2. 2

   Add beets to smoker: Add beets directly to the smoker grill grates, with some space in between them.

3. 3

   Smoke beets for about 2 hours. You’re finishing smoking beets when you can easily pierce them with a fork.

4. 4

   Remove smoked beets and peel: Remove beets from smoker. When the internal temp is about 205 degrees F or higher, as measured with an internal read thermometer, remove beets and let them cool at least ~10-15 minutes, or until they’re easy to handle with your hands. Use a spoon, knife or fingers (if you want it to look like a crime scene on your cutting board) to remove the beet skins. Dice and serve. (I usually let the beets rest for 25 to 35 minutes before peeling and cutting them).
