Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Mustard Seed Brittle

    In a saucepan, combine sugar, water, and salt. Heat over medium heat until the sugar dissolves. Add mustard seeds and cook until the mixture reaches a golden caramel color. Pour onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and let cool. Once hardened, break into pieces.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Beets

    If using fresh beets, roast them in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for about 45 minutes until tender. Let them cool, peel, and slice. If using preserved beets, simply slice them.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Apples

    Core and slice the sweet tart apples into thin wedges.

  4. 4

    Plate the Dish

    On a serving platter, arrange the apple slices, preserved beets, and crumbled Gorgonzola dolce. Drizzle with apple balsamic vinegar and top with pieces of mustard seed brittle.
