Time 1h45m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 8

½ cup chopped walnuts
1 large beet, top and bottom trimmed and beet greens retained
1 tablespoon walnut oil, or more to taste
2 ounces soft goat cheese
kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
2 tablespoons champagne vinegar
1 cup reserved beet greens, cut into very thin slivers
2 teaspoons chopped fresh chives

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 275 degrees F (135 degrees C).
  • Spread walnuts onto a baking sheet and toast in the preheated oven until the nuts turn golden brown and become fragrant, about 45 minutes. Watch the nuts carefully because they burn quickly. Set walnuts aside to cool to room temperature.
  • Turn oven up to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Crinkle up a piece of aluminum foil and place it into an oven-safe dish (such as a pie dish) to act as a disposable rack. Place beet onto foil.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until the beet just starts to turn tender, about 45 minutes. Wrap beet in aluminum foil and let cool to room temperature.
  • Turn oven temperature up to 400 degrees F (205 degrees C).
  • Peel beet with a sharp paring knife; peel skin from beet. Cut beet in half and cut halves into thick half-moon-shaped slices.
  • Drizzle walnut oil in a baking dish and brush oil over the bottom of the dish; arrange beet slices in the dish in a single layer. Crumble goat cheese into the empty spaces and over beets. Sprinkle with kosher salt and black pepper.
  • Bake beet and cheese in oven until beet pieces are sizzling and the edges of the cheese are slightly browned, about 15 minutes. Cool slightly, about 10 minutes.
  • Drizzle warm beet and cheese with vinegar and top with roasted walnuts, beet greens, and chives. Serve warm.

BEETS WITH GARLIC-WALNUT SAUCE



Beets With Garlic-Walnut Sauce image

A departure from the standard pairing of beets with goat cheese is a dressing of walnuts, garlic and fresh orange juice. Note that all of these have some bitterness or acidity, which counter the sweetness of beets beautifully.

Provided by Mark Bittman

Categories     side dish

Time 1h20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 pounds red beets, about 4 large, trimmed of greens
1/4 cup olive oil
6 cloves garlic, peeled
1/2 cup walnuts
2 tablespoons to 1/4 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
Salt
black pepper to taste
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley leaves, for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Wash beets well. While still wet, wrap them individually in foil and place on a cookie sheet or roasting pan. Bake beets, undisturbed, for 60 to 90 minutes, until a thin-bladed knife pierces each with little resistance. (They may cook at different rates; remove each one when it is done.)
  • Meanwhile, put oil in a skillet over medium-low heat. When it is warm, add garlic and cook until fragrant and beginning to soften, about 6 minutes. Add walnuts and continue to cook until they begin to color, about another 4 minutes. Let mixture cool slightly and then put it in a small food processor; process until you have a relatively smooth paste. Add orange juice to taste and sprinkle with salt and lots of pepper.
  • After beets have cooled, peel off skins. Slice beets into wedges or cubes and toss with dressing. Taste and adjust seasoning, garnish with parsley and serve.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     BBQ & Grilling Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 12

6 medium red beets
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for grilling
Coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper
6 sprigs fresh thyme
Freshly squeezed lemon juice
Maldon sea salt
Chive blossoms (optional), for garnish
3/4 cup fresh goat cheese
1/2 cup goat's milk or half-and-half
1 teaspoon fennel pollen or toasted ground fennel seed
1 teaspoon honey
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Make the beets: Place beets in a large bowl and drizzle with olive oil; season with salt and pepper. Place each beet on an individual piece of parchment paper-lined aluminum foil; add a sprig of thyme to each and wrap to enclose.
  • Preheat a grill: If using a charcoal grill, make a fire in your grill. When the charcoals are completely covered in gray ash, hold your hand about 5 inches above the grill grid; count how many seconds you can comfortably leave it there. When you can hold it there for 2 to 3 seconds, you have medium-high heat and are ready to grill. If you are using a gas grill, heat the grill for 15 minutes with the lid closed. Before beginning to cook, reduce the temperature by turning the knobs to medium-high.
  • Place beets on grill and cook until tender, about 45 minutes.
  • Make the dressing: Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, mix together goat cheese, goat's milk, fennel pollen, and honey; season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
  • Unwrap beets and cut into 1-inch-thick slices. Brush slices with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Place on grill and cook, turning, until grill marks appear. Transfer to a platter and drizzle with olive oil and lemon juice; season with salt and pepper. Add dressing, garnish with sea salt, and sprinkle with chive blossoms, if using. Serve immediately.

ROASTED-BEET SALAD WITH GOAT CHEESE AND WALNUTS



Roasted-Beet Salad With Goat Cheese and Walnuts image

Provided by Mark Bittman

Categories     salads and dressings

Time 2h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 large or 6 medium beets
3/4 cup walnuts
6 cups torn greens, one type or an assortment
1/3 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons red-wine vinegar
1 tablespoon minced shallot
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 ounces goat cheese

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 400. Wash the beets, and while they are still wet, wrap them individually in foil. Put them on a rimmed baking sheet and cook, undisturbed, until you can pierce them easily with a thin-bladed knife, 60 to 90 minutes. Once the beets have cooled, peel them (I like to rub the skin off under running water), and cut them into chunks.
  • Put the walnuts in a dry skillet over medium heat and cook, shaking the pan frequently, until fragrant and beginning to darken, 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Rinse and dry the greens and put them in a large bowl; add the walnuts. Combine the oil, vinegar, shallot and Dijon in a jar with a sprinkle of salt and pepper. Screw the lid on tightly and shake vigorously until the dressing becomes thick and creamy. Taste and adjust the seasoning.
  • Pour some of the dressing onto the greens and toss to coat; pile the greens on 4 plates. Put the beets in the bowl, toss with some of the dressing and arrange them on top of or around the greens. Crumble the goat cheese on top, and serve.

FRESH GOAT CHEESE, ROASTED BEET, AND WALNUT TART



Fresh Goat Cheese, Roasted Beet, and Walnut Tart image

Categories     Wine     Cheese     Egg     Olive     Onion     Bake     Lunch     Goat Cheese     Walnut     Beet     Parsley     Butter     Sugar Conscious     Vegetarian     Pescatarian     Wheat/Gluten-Free     Peanut Free     Soy Free     Kosher

Yield Makes one 10-inch tart; Serves 6 to 8

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 to 3 small beets
1 tablespoon olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 medium onion, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons dry white wine
1 recipe Hamersley's Bistro Tart Dough , shaped and blind-baked according to the directions
3 large eggs
3/4 cup heavy cream
4 ounces fresh goat cheese
1 cup chopped walnuts (about 4 ounces)
1 tablespoon walnut oil (optional)
About 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

  • HEAT the oven to 350°F. Wash the beets and dry them with a paper towel. Place the beets in a small ovenproof pan, drizzle them with the olive oil, and season with a little salt and pepper. Cover the pan with aluminum foil. Bake until the beets are tender when pierced with a paring knife, about 1 hour.
  • ALLOW the beets to cool. Peel the beets using a small knife and cut them into a medium dice. (Be careful, as beet juice can stain counters, towels, and even your hands; you may want to wear gloves for this step.)
  • HEAT the butter in a sauté pan over medium heat. Add the onion, season with a little salt, and cook, stirring every few minutes, until the onion is just tender, about 7 minutes. Add the white wine and cook for another minute, scraping up any browned bits stuck to the bottom of the pan.
  • HEAT the oven to 350°F. Toss the beets and onion together and put them into the blind-baked tart shell.
  • WHISK together the eggs and cream, season well with salt and pepper, and carefully pour over the beets and onion, letting the cream seep evenly into the beets. Dot the goat cheese all over the top of the tart. Put the tart on a baking sheet and bake it for 20 minutes. Sprinkle the chopped walnuts on top of the tart and drizzle the walnut oil over it, if using. Return the tart to the oven and bake until just set, an additional 15 to 20 minutes. Sprinkle the tart with the chopped parsley and let it rest for at least 5 minutes before serving.

Tips:

  • Choose Small Beets: Smaller beets are more tender and have a sweeter flavor.
  • Scrub Beets Thoroughly: Use a vegetable brush to scrub off any dirt or debris.
  • Wrap Beets in Foil: Wrapping the beets in foil helps them steam and roast evenly.
  • Roast Beets Until Tender: Beets should be tender when pierced with a fork.
  • Let Beets Cool Completely: Beets should be cool enough to handle before peeling and slicing.
  • Use Fresh Herbs: Fresh herbs, like thyme and parsley, add a pop of flavor to the dish.
  • Toast Walnuts: Toasting walnuts enhances their flavor and adds a nice crunch.
  • Use Good Quality Olive Oil: A high-quality olive oil will add a rich flavor to the dish.
  • Season to Taste: Add salt, pepper, and lemon juice to taste.

Conclusion:

Grilled Beets with Goat's Cheese and Walnuts is a simple yet elegant dish that is perfect for any occasion. The sweetness of the beets pairs perfectly with the tanginess of the goat's cheese, and the walnuts add a nice crunch. This dish is also very versatile and can be served as an appetizer, side dish, or main course.
