Categories side-dish

Time 1h10m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

2 bunches baby beets, scrubbed and trimmed
2 tablespoons champagne vinegar
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
4 sprigs fresh thyme
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 shallot, chopped
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 tablespoon champagne vinegar
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
One 5-ounce container baby arugula
One 8-ounce container burrata cheese
1/4 cup toasted pine nuts

Steps:

For the beets: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
Put the beets in an 8-inch square baking dish. Add the vinegar, salt, thyme sprigs and 3 tablespoons water to the baking dish. Toss well to coat. Cover the dish with aluminum foil and roast until the beets are tender all the way through, about 50 minutes. Allow the beets to cool slightly, then use a paper towel to rub off the skins. Cut the beets into quarters or sixths depending on the size. Toss with any of the remaining liquid from roasting. Set aside to cool slightly.
For the dressing: Heat a small skillet over low heat. Add the oil, shallots and 1/4 teaspoon of the salt and cook until the shallots are soft but not brown, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and cool for 5 minutes. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whisk together the vinegar, Dijon mustard and remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt. Add the cooled oil mixture and whisk to combine.
For the salad: Add the arugula and beets to the dressing and toss gently to coat. Place the salad on a large platter and tear the burrata around the sides. Sprinkle with the pine nuts.

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 25

Ingredients

Marinated Kale:
1/4 cup grated Pecorino or Parmigiano cheese
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Zest and juice of 1 lemon
1 clove garlic, minced
1⁄2 teaspoon honey
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon crushed red chile flakes
Freshly ground black pepper
1 large bunch black Tuscan kale, ribs removed and coarsely chopped
Hazelnut Vinaigrette:
1/4 heaping cup hazelnuts, toasted in a skillet over medium heat until fragrant and then finely ground
3 tablespoons hazelnut oil
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
1 teaspoon finely chopped shallot
1 teaspoon minced thyme leaves
1/2 teaspoon honey
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
3 cranks black pepper
To finish:
Roasted and marinated beets
2 balls burrata or fresh mozzarella cheese, torn into rough chunks
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup coarsely chopped toasted hazelnuts

Steps:

Marinate the Kale:
In a large bowl, combine the cheese, olive oil, lemon zest and juice, garlic, honey, salt, chile flakes, and pepper. Add the kale and toss to combine-really get in there and work the kale with your hands; this isn't a gentle massage. Set the kale aside to marinate at room temperature for 2 hours or in the fridge overnight. Alternatively, you could toss the kale in with the just-roasted, marinating beets along with the cheese, olive oil, et al., and let the mixture sit at room temperature for 2 hours or in the fridge overnight. They'll marinate just the same.
Make the Vinaigrette:
Combine the hazelnuts, hazelnut oil, vinegar, shallot, thyme, honey, salt, and pepper in a small jar with a tight-fitting lid and shake it until the dressing comes together. Set aside until ready to serve or store in the fridge for up to 5 days.
Char the Kale and Beets:
Preheat a large cast-iron pan over high heat for 5 minutes. When the pan looks very hot (you see little wisps of smoke), add the marinated beets and char on one side for 1 minute, just long enough to get some char. Remove the beets from the pan and add the kale, again charring for 1 minute. You are looking to just heat the kale, not fully cook it. You also could do this over the high heat of a grill. Remove the pan from the heat.
Put it together and serve:
Spread the cheese over a large platter. Season it a bit with salt and pepper. Scatter the charred kale and beets over the cheese, douse with the hazelnut vinaigrette, and finish with the chopped hazelnuts

Tips:

Use a variety of beets for a more colorful dish. Try golden beets, candy cane beets, or Chioggia beets.
If you don't have a pastry brush, you can use a spoon to spread the egg wash.
Be careful not to overcook the beets. They should be tender but still have a little bit of a bite to them.
If you don't have time to make your own puff pastry, you can use store-bought puff pastry.
Serve the beet and burrata cheese in croustade warm or at room temperature.

Conclusion:

This beet and burrata cheese in croustade is a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or light meal. The combination of sweet beets, creamy burrata cheese, and flaky puff pastry is sure to please everyone. This dish is also a great way to use up leftover beets. So next time you have some beets on hand, give this recipe a try!
