I served this on Valentine's Day 2009 Ingredients:
3 large red beets |
1 tbsp. balsamic or red wine vinegar (vinegar choice does change the taste a bit) |
1/2 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil |
1 clove garlic, smashed |
2 oz. goat cheese, crumbled |
2 tbsp. pine nuts |
parsley or other fresh herbs, chopped (optional) |
fresh greens |
salt and pepper |
Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 425. Wrap each beat individually in aluminum foil. Roast the beets on the middle rack until tender, about an hour to an hour and a half. Once cool enough to handle, peel the beets and dice.
2. Meanwhile, whisk together the vinegar, oil, garlic and salt and pepper to taste. Let it stand for a bit for the flavors to marry. Pluck out the garlic clove and then toss the diced beets with the mixture.
3. Lay fresh greens on a plate layer Beets then top with goat cheese, pine nuts, and parsley.
