Cut the tops and bottoms off the beets. Place the beets in a small roasting  
pan and fill the pan with water coming 1/3 of the way up the pan. Cover the  
pan with aluminum foil. Place the pan in the oven and roast for about 30 to  
3
5 minutes or until the beets are tender. Cool slightly, about 20 minutes,  
and rub off the skin. Using a mandoline, thinly slice the beets. Reserve 1/4  
cup of the beet liquid. In a mixing bowl, whisk the olive oil and rice wine  
vinegar together. Season with salt and pepper. Toss the beets with  
vinaigrette, cover and chill for 6 hours. In a mixing bowl, toss the crab  
meat, mayonnaise, sour cream, shallots and horseradish together. Season the  
salad with salt and pepper. To assemble, divide the beet slices into  
fourths. Cover the center of each plate with the beet slices. Mound the crab  
salad over the beet slices on each plate. Place a fourth of pickles on top  
of each mound of crab salad. Drizzle the reserved beet water around the edge  
of each plate. Garnish with parsley. This recipe yields 4 servings.
