1/8 teaspoon black pepper
1 (4-oz) piece soft mild goat cheese from a log
2/3 cup water
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 cup couscous (3 oz)
1/4 cup diced (1/4 inch) red onion
1/2 cup diced (1/4 inch) zucchini
1/2 cup diced (1/4 inch) red bell pepper
1/4 cup fresh corn kernels
1 small beet (about 2 inches in diameter), trimmed
1 tablespoon Sherry vinegar
4 thin prosciutto slices (optional)
Special equipment: a Japanese Benriner* or other adjustable-blade slicer; a 4-oz ramekin
Accompaniment: grissini (long thin breadsticks) or flatbread

Steps:

  • Stir together dill, chives, and pepper on a plate, then roll cheese in herb mixture to coat sides (not ends). Wrap cheese in plastic wrap and chill.
  • Bring water, salt, and 1 tablespoon oil to a boil in a 1-quart heavy saucepan. Stir in couscous, then cover pan and remove from heat. Let stand, covered, 5 minutes.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderate heat until hot but not smoking, then cook onion, stirring, 1 minute. Add zucchini, bell pepper, and corn and cook, stirring, until zucchini is bright green, about 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and transfer to a bowl.
  • Fluff couscous with a fork and stir into vegetables, then season with salt and pepper.
  • Peel beet and cut half of beet into very thin slices (less than 1/8 inch thick) with slicer (discard remainder), then stack slices and cut into thin matchsticks. Rinse beets and pat dry, then transfer to a bowl.
  • Whisk together vinegar, remaining 2 tablespoons oil, and salt and pepper to taste. Add 1/2 tablespoon dressing to beets and toss to coat.
  • Fill ramekin with couscous, pressing it firmly into mold with a rubber spatula. Invert ramekin onto a salad plate and carefully unmold couscous, then make 3 more couscous mounds on 3 more plates.
  • Drape each couscous mound with 1 prosciutto slice (if using), then top with some of beets.
  • Unwrap cheese and cut crosswise into 4 equal slices with a lightly oiled knife, then arrange 1 cheese slice alongside each couscous mound and spoon remaining dressing around mounds.

Provided by Chef John

Categories     Salad     Vegetable Salad Recipes

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.
