Elegant beet appetizer. Thin ruby disks with a nugget of goat cheese between, glistening with oil, and necklaced with a dark reduction of balsamic vinegar. From French Food at Home.
If you beets are not yet cooked, simply boil them, unpeeled, for 45 minutes to an hour, until a fork poked in tells you that it's tender.
Peel and thinly slice the beet(s). Choose 8 of the nicest-looking slices, and reserve the remainder for another use. Divide the cheese into 4 pieces, and pinch to soften slightly and shape each into an approximate round. Toast the nuts in a dry frying pan for about 5 minutes, stirring constantly. Boil the vinegar down in a small saucepan by about half, until syrupy. (careful ...it is easy to burn)
Place a beet slice in the center of each serving plate. Drizzle on a little olive oil, season with pepper, and top with a nugget of the cheese. Drape a second beet slice over the top, like a floppy sun hat. Scatter a few nuts around. Drizzle with the remaining oil and the reduced vinegar. Season with salt and a grind of pepper. If you have some arugula or frisée tuck it alongside, drizzled with the dressing and seasoned.
