Ingredients
Stuffed Beets with Orange Yogurt
- Ingredients
- 6 ½ ozs Bulgur
- 24 ozs Vegetable broth
- 2 Oganic oranges
- 8 cooked Beets
- ½ tsp ground cilantro
- salt
- 2 Tbsps Pumpkin seed
- 1 Tbsp butter
- 7 ozs Yogurt (3.5% fat)
- peppers
Put bulgur and vegetable broth in a pot and bring to a boil. Cover and cook for about 12 minutes at low heat.
Meanwhile, rinse 1 orange in hot water and wipe dry. Peel the outermost layer of the orange peel with a vegetable peeler and cut into thin strips.
Peel both oranges to remove the white pith. Using a sharp knife, cut fruit segments between the membranes, collecting the juice in a bowl.
Drain beets and cut in half crosswise. Using a melon baller cut out enough flesh to make a small well. Set flesh aside. (Because beets stain, gloves are recommended.)
Mix orange segments and half of the orange peel strips with bulgur and season with salt and coriander.
Place orange bulgur in the hollowed beets, sprinkle with pumpkin seeds, and place in a shallow 3-quart baking dish.
Pour in approximately 1/2 cup of water. Distribute butter in small flakes over the filling and bake in a preheated oven at 350°F/convection 325°F for about 25 minutes.
Place beet pulp with reserved orange juice in a tall container and puree with an immersion blender.
Stir in the yogurt, salt and pepper. Top beets with orange yogurt and garnish with remaining orange zest.

Healthy, because
Praying red is really something. With very few calories, they are bursting with folic acid and iron and thus promote blood formation. By the way, this is an advantage that is especially appreciated by pregnant women and new mothers. Even those who follow a meat-free diet can do something good for their iron balance with these deliciously gratinated tubers!
