Instructions

  1. Start boiling water in a large saucepan for the beets.

  2. Scrub beets, trim stems to one inch, and leave roots intact. Place unpeeled beets in the boiling water, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer 20-25 minutes until tender.

  3. Drain cooked beets and cool. Once cool enough, trim roots, peel, and dice the beets.

  4. In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-low. Sauté onion until translucent and aromatic, then add garlic and cook for one minute, stirring.

  5. Stir in flour and cook for two minutes, stirring constantly.

  6. Add chicken broth to the roux and cook until thickened. Incorporate the diced beets, brown sugar, and vinegar. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for ten minutes until glazed.
