Combine onions, garlic, red vinegar, olive oil, thyme, rosemary, parsley, coriander, fennel seed, and cumin, creating a vibrant mix. Roast the beets until they reach a tender consistency. After cooling, peel and cut them into oblique or roughly shaped pieces. Toss the beets with a delightful combination of honey, mint, basil, and parsley—referred to as soft herbs.
