Grilled Beets With Fig Molasses

Serves: 4

Print this Recipe

In this recipe, microwave-cooked beets are seared over hot coals for a few minutes to get a delicate charred flavor that is an exciting contrast to the sweet and pungent fig glaze. Serve with grilled fish, poultry, or meat.


   6 medium beets (about 2 pounds)
   Oil for coating the grill rack
   No-stick spray oil
   1/4 cup figs preserves, such as Adriatic Fig Spread, strained
   1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar


Wash the beets and trim them of greens, stems, and any long taproots. Place the beets in a shallow, microwave-safe casserole or pie plate. Add 1/4 inch of water and cover tightly. Microwave at full power until the largest of the beets are tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Uncover, drain, and allow to cool. Peel the cooled beets by cutting off the stem end and rubbing the skin; it will slip off. If any pieces of skin stick, trim with a small knife. The recipe can be completed up to this point a day ahead, if desired.

Heat a charcoal or gas grill to high and coat the grill rack with oil before placing 4 inches from the fire. Cut the beets into thick (about 1/2 inch) slices, and coat with spray oil. Grill the beets until browned, about 3 minutes per side.

Mix the fig preserves and vinegar until smooth in a serving bowl. Toss the hot beets with this mixture. Serve immediately.
