Roasted Beets

Herbed Capriole Goat Cheese

Candied Walnuts

Gastrique

Method

Roasting the Beets

  1. 1

    Prepare the Beets

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash the beets thoroughly and trim the tops and roots. Wrap each beet in aluminum foil and place them on a baking sheet.

  2. 2

    Roast the Beets

    Drizzle olive oil over the wrapped beets and sprinkle with salt and black pepper. Roast in the preheated oven for about 45-60 minutes, or until tender when pierced with a fork.

  3. 3

    Peel the Beets

    Once roasted, let the beets cool slightly before unwrapping. Use gloves to peel the skin off, then slice into wedges or rounds.

Making Herbed Goat Cheese

  1. 4

    Mix Ingredients

    In a bowl, combine the Capriole goat cheese, minced garlic, chopped fresh herbs, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated.

  2. 5

    Chill the Mixture

    Cover the herbed goat cheese mixture and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Making Candied Walnuts

  1. 6

    Combine Ingredients

    In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the sugar, water, and cinnamon. Stir until the sugar dissolves.

  2. 7

    Add Walnuts

    Add the walnuts to the saucepan and stir to coat. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until the walnuts are golden and the sugar mixture becomes syrupy.

  3. 8

    Cool the Walnuts

    Remove from heat and spread the candied walnuts on parchment paper to cool completely before breaking apart.

Preparing the Gastrique

  1. 9

    Combine Ingredients

    In a small saucepan, combine the sugar, red wine vinegar, orange juice, and a pinch of salt.

  2. 10

    Cook the Mixture

    Heat over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Allow to simmer for about 10-15 minutes until it thickens slightly.

  3. 11

    Cool the Gastrique

    Remove from heat and let the gastrique cool before using.
