Yield Makes about 60 hors d'oeuvres

Number Of Ingredients 6

6 medium yellow or red beets (2 1/2 pounds with greens), trimmed, leaving 1 inch of stems attached
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 (1 1/2-inch-diameter) logs fresh mild goat cheese (herbed or plain; 8 ounces total), chilled
30 fresh sorrel leaves (about 4 by 2 inches), leaves halved lengthwise and center ribs and stems discarded
Special Equipment
a 1 1/2-inch round cookie cutter (at least 1 inch deep); wooden picks

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425°F.
  • Wrap beets in foil in 2 packages (3 per package) and roast in middle of oven until tender, 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 hours. When cool enough to handle, peel beets and cut off stems and root ends. Halve beets crosswise and arrange, cut sides down, on a work surface. Cut out a cylinder from each half with cookie cutter. Halve each cylinder lengthwise, then cut crosswise into generous 1/4-inch-thick slices.
  • Line a tray with plastic wrap and brush plastic wrap with some oil. Cut cheese logs crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick slices with an oiled knife, then halve slices. Arrange cheese slices in 1 layer on tray and brush with some oil, then top each with a slice of beet.
  • Arrange sorrel leaf halves, veined sides up, on work surface. Put a cheese and beet stack in middle of each leaf half, then wrap sorrel over stack and secure with a pick.

I'm not a big fan of goat cheese, so I used feta instead. It was still delicious.

I didn't have any walnuts on hand, so I used pecans instead. They worked just as well.

I found that the sorrel leaves were a bit too tart for my taste, so I used spinach instead.

The sorrel leaves added a lovely tartness to the dish, while the goat cheese and beets were creamy and sweet. The walnuts added a nice crunch.
