Balsamic Reduction

Method

Roasting Beets

  1. 1

    Prepare the Beets

    Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash the beets thoroughly and trim the tops and tails.

  2. 2

    Wrap and Roast

    Wrap each beet in foil, place them on a baking sheet, and roast in the oven for 45-60 minutes, until tender. Let them cool before peeling and slicing.

Making Taratore

  1. 3

    Blend Ingredients

    In a food processor, combine tahini, garlic, lemon juice, water, and salt. Blend until smooth, adjusting water to reach desired consistency.

Preparing Nori Granola

  1. 4

    Mix and Bake

    In a bowl, mix rolled oats, crumbled nori sheets, olive oil, maple syrup, and sesame seeds. Spread on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally until golden.

Making Balsamic Reduction

  1. 5

    Reduce Balsamic Vinegar

    In a small saucepan, bring balsamic vinegar to a simmer over medium heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer until it thickens and coats the back of a spoon, about 10-15 minutes. Allow to cool.

Assembly

  1. 6

    Plate the Salad

    On a serving plate, arrange the sliced roasted beets. Drizzle with taratore and balsamic reduction, and sprinkle nori granola on top.
