Dark Light
Soft-cooked beet, marinated to taste like salmon.

Ingredients

  • 1 large chioggia beet (about 3 cups)

Marinade

  • 1 tsp liquid smoke
  • 2 Tbsp tamari sauce
  • 6 Tbsp vegetable oil
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 4 drops red vegan food coloring

Instructions

  • Peel and slice the beet thinly (about ΒΌ" thick). Add them to a pot and cover with water. Boil until beets are fork-tender, about 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, blend all the marinade ingredients together in a glass dish.
  • When the beets are cooked soft but not falling apart, drain them and let them cool 5 minutes. Then add them to the marinade dish, coating each piece well with marinade.
  • Cover the dish air-tight and let rest in the fridge at least 2 days. They will turn completely pink. Serve on bagels or rye bread with vegan cream cheese and garnish with fresh dill. Store beet salmon in the fridge up to 2 weeks tightly covered.
