Beets with Orange and Almonds

==Ingredients==
* 1 lb beets
* juice of 3 oranges
* zest of 1 orange
* ¼ cup unsalted butter
* salt
* freshly ground pepper
* ⅓ cup slivered almonds, toasted
* ½ orange, for garnish
* 2 tbsp coarsely chopped chervil or 1 to 2 tsp chopped fresh tarragon, for garnish
==Directions==
# Heat the oven to 375 °F.
# Trim the leaves off the beets, leaving about an inch of stem.
# Set the beets in a roasting pan.
# Bake until the skins are crinkled and loose and a sweet beet smell permeates the kitchen.
# Medium-sized beets should take about 1½ to 2 hours, small ones about 1½ hours.
# Peel the beets and cut into ⅜-inch cubes.
# Place the orange juice, orange zest, beets and butter in a shallow saucepan or a skillet.
# Cook over low to medium heat for 15 minutes—stirring occasionally—then raise the heat to high to reduce the cooking liquid, about 2 minutes.
# The beets should be coated with an orange glaze.
# Taste.
# salt if necessary, and add plenty of freshly ground pepper.
# Turn into a warm serving dish and top with the almonds.
# Squeeze the orange half over the cooked beets and garnish with the chervil.
# Serve immediately.
