Beets are a traditional and very healthy product and you can cook quite interesting dishes with it. Especially the recipe will appeal to lovers of rich spicy taste.
Rinse beets thoroughly and dry. Make small cuts on the sides with a knife and stuff the beets with cloves. Wrap the beets in several layers of foil along with strips of orange peel and a pinch of ground ginger. Bake in the oven at 180 degrees for about 1.5 hours until the beets are soft.
Remove the beets, remove the cloves, peel and cut into slices. Squeeze the juice from the orange, cut the zest into thin strips.
Heat the frying pan, add a little vegetable oil, orange juice and part of the zest, a cinnamon stick, 1/2 tsp. sugar (preferably cane), ground ginger on the tip of a knife and boil the syrup a little. As soon as the syrup begins to thicken, put the pieces of beets into it and glaze. Season to taste with salt and sugar.
