3 | Garlic cloves - finely chopped | |

2 tablespoons | 30ml | Chopped fresh cilantro |
1/4 teaspoon | 1.3ml | Ground cumin |

Prepare a charcoal fire or preheat a gas grill.
Brush the beats with olive oil and place over medium-low coals. Cook raw beats slowly over heat until they are easily pierced, 1 to 1 1/2 hours; precooked beets should be placed over the heat just long enough to develop a smoky aroma, about 5 minutes.
Remove from the barbecue, peel if necessary, then cut into thick slices. Blend the dressing ingredients and toss with the beets. Taste for seasoning. Serve warm or at room temperature.
