Ingredients:

Serving

3/4 lb beets (about 2 medium)
1 cup water
1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
1 tsp grated lemon rind
1 tsp fresh lemon juice
1/4 tsp sea salt
1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
1 (5-oz) package goat cheese

2 tsp minced fresh tarragon
1/8 tsp freshly ground black pepper
1 garlic clove, crushed
24 (1/2-inch- thick) slices diagonally cut french bread baguette, toasted

Cover and bake at 375° for 45 minutes or until tender. Drain and cool. Trim off beet roots; rub off skins. Cut beets lengthwise into quarters, and cut each quarter crosswise into 9 (1/8-inch) slices.
In a medium bowl combine the vinegar, rind, juice, salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Add beets; toss gently to coat.
