Orange Roasted Beets And Shallots:
Preheat the oven to 450°F. Lightly oil a baking dish. In a small
bowl, combine the orange juice concentrate and oil, stirring to blend.
Place the beets and shallots in the prepared baking dish and add the
orange juice mixture, stirring to coat. Spread out in a single layer
and season to taste with salt and pepper.
Cover the baking dish tightly and roast until the beets are soft and
the shallots are caramelized, about 50 minutes, stirring halfway
through. Remove the beet peels--they should come off easily.
Serve hot, garnished with a sprinkling of the gremolata.
