Green Tomato-Citrus Stacks with Beet-Stained Yogurt
- 3 navel oranges, peeled and sliced crosswise
- 1 pound ripe green tomatoes, sliced 1/2-inch thick
- 2 small beets, finely grated
- 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- Juice of half a lemon
- 2 tablespoons capers
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 3/4 cup whole milk yogurt
- 1 small garlic clove, crushed
- Cut a thin slice off the blossom and stem end of 1 orange to reveal the flesh.
- Stand the orange upright and slice off the peel and pith in thick strips, cutting from the top to bottom and following the curve of the fruit.
- Cut the orange crosswise into 1/2-inch slices and remove any seeds from the slices with the tip of a knife.
- Repeat with remaining oranges and set aside in a bowl.
- Peel beets and, using a box grater on a very fine setting, shred the beets into a bowl and set aside.
- Add 2 tablespoons of the olive oil, lemon juice and capers to a small bowl.
- Whisk to lightly combine and set aside.
- In another small bowl, mix the yogurt with the remaining olive oil and stir in the crushed garlic clove.
- Add a pinch of kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper.
- Slice the tomatoes a 1/2-inch thick and pile onto the platter with the sliced oranges.
- Spoon the lemon caper dressing over the stacks, season with salt, and set a handful of the grated beets over the top.
- To serve, discard the garlic clove from yogurt dressing, spoon a large dollop over the beets, and garnish with chopped parsley.
