directions
1. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add chorizo and cook, stirring frequently, until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer to a bowl and set aside.
2. Working in batches, cook beets in rendered chorizo fat until tender and browned, about 5 minutes.
3. Return beets and chorizo to skillet. Stir in remaining ingredients plus enough water to cover the beets. Cover partially with a lid and simmer over low heat until liquid is reduced and glaze-like, about 45 minutes.
4. Using a slotted spoon, transfer to a platter and garnish with more parsley and mint before serving; reserve leftover cooking liquid for toast soldiers.
