Инструкции
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Place the beets on a jelly roll pan, toss with the oil, and cover tightly with aluminum foil. Bake till the beets are tender when pierced with a sharp knife, about 2 hrs.
- Chill till chilled. Peel the beets and slice into 1/16th-inch rounds. On 6 dinner plates, arrange overlapping beet slices in a wide circle. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and chill till ready to serve.
- In a small bowl, mix the goat cheese, blanched tarragon, parsley, chives, and thyme. Cover with plastic wrap and chill till ready to serve.
- To serve, uncover the plates and season the beets with salt and pepper. In a large bowl, toss the mesclun greens with the walnut vinaigrette to taste.
- Place the greens in the center each plate. Top with equal portions of the goat cheese. Garnish with the julienned beet and walnut halves. Drizzle a few spoonfuls of walnut vinaigrette around the inside of each plate, and serve immediately.
- Yield: 6 servings
- WALNUT VINAIGRETTE: Place all of the ingredients, except the oils, in a blender and process on high speed. With the machine running, gradually add in the olive and walnut oils till the vinaigrette is emulsified, about 1 minute. Chill till ready to serve. (The vinaigrette can be prepared up to 1 week in advance, covered and refrigerated.)
- Note: To toast walnuts, place the walnuts in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake in a preheated 350 degrees F. oven, stirring occasionally, till toasted, 8 to 12 min. Cold completely.
