Coal Roasted Beet

Method

Preparation Steps

1

Roasting the Beets

Preheat your coal grill or oven to 400°F (200°C). Wrap each beet in aluminum foil, adding a pinch of salt and a drizzle of olive oil. Place the wrapped beets directly on the hot coals or on a baking sheet in the oven. Roast for about 45-60 minutes, or until fork-tender.

2

Making the Pine Nut Gremolata

In a dry skillet over medium heat, toast the pine nuts until golden brown, about 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Remove from heat and let cool. In a food processor, combine the toasted pine nuts, parsley, garlic, lemon zest, and olive oil. Pulse until coarsely chopped. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

3

Assembling the Dish

Once the beets are cooked, let them cool slightly, then peel off the skin and cut them into wedges. Arrange the beet wedges on a serving platter, crumble the Humboldt Fog goat cheese over the top, and spoon the pine nut gremolata generously over the beets.
