Ingredients

  • 1.5 pound beets trimmed scrubbed cut into 1 ½" chunks
  • tablespoon kosher salt 
  •  lemons 
  • sprigs mint leaves 
  • tablespoon olive oil extra-virgin
  • teaspoon freshly cracked pepper black
  • 0.3 pound pancetta thinly sliced

Equipment

  • paper towels
  • pot
  • grill
  • skewers

Directions

  1. Fill a large pot with cool water.
  2. Add beets; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to simmer; cook until beets are fork tender, but not mushy about 12 minutes.
  3. Remove from heat.
  4. Let cool slightly; rub away skins with a paper towel. Set aside.Rinse scallops; pat dry. Wrap scallops in a slice of prosciutto, tucking in a mint leaf or two between the scallop and mint. Thread 3 or 4 scallops, alternating with beet, on each of 8 skewers. Squeeze juice of 1 lemon on all sides of the skewers.
  5. Brush gently with some olive oil, and season with salt and pepper.Arrange skewers, off direct heat, on a medium-hot grill. Grill, rotating skewers and brushing with more oil as needed to prevent sticking, until barely cooked through, about 5 minutes. The scallops will finish cooking as they rest. The beets should be soft and slightly charred.
  6. Remove from the grill and squeeze with the juice of the remaining lemon.
