Instructions

In a braising pan with a lid, whisk together vinegar, water, honey, cayenne, and a generous pinch of salt.
Place beet slices in the liquid, ensuring that each of them is resting flat on the bottom of the pan. Add fresh thyme. Cover with lid.
Bake covered at 350 degrees for 45 minutes. Check beets for tenderness. If tender, remove them carefully to a platter, and place braising pan on top of the stove.
Over a medium flame, reduce the liquid until it is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. Whisk in Liokareas Orange Olive Oil.
Pair each beet slice with a slice of fresh grapefruit. Garnish with pickled onions and clementine segments. Drizzle with beet juice and olive oil dressing. Serve immediately.
