I love roasted vegetables of all types--but these beets--these things are seriously good. Nothing quite matches the intensity of beets. Roasting them brings out a hearty full expression of the vegetable. The beets become sweet and tender, developing a deeply fruity and slightly nutty flavor. In this recipe the delightful combination of sweetness and earthiness of the roasted beets is highlighted with the tang of mustard.
Wonderful lemon earthy flavor! A great way to use beet thinnings!
Mache is a great type of salad which has small, roundish leaves often sold in rosettes. It has a mild nutty, peppery flavor. If you can't find it, you could substitute your favorite salad green, such as baby spinach or arugula. The amounts I provide makes a small side salad with a high topping to lettuce ratio. If you want a large salad you might want to increase the amount of mache.
My mom's borscht recipe. Delicious stuff!
