A mixture of kosher salt, goat cheese, brain food: beets, and a handful of other ingredients are all it takes to make this recipe so scrumptious. From preparation to the plate, this recipe takes around 45 minutes.
Instructions
Pour 2 teaspoons of olive oil in the palm of your hand and rub the beets all over to coat.
Place the beets on a baking dish whole, and bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until tender. To check for doneness, insert a sharp paring knife through the middle of the thickest part of the beet. If the knife goes through all the way smoothly, the beets are done.
Remove from the oven and cool completely. Peel the beets under running water and cut them into thin slices.Arrange 4 to 6 slices of beets on a salad plate in a circle. Toss the arugula with kosher salt and 3 to 4 tablespoons of dressing.
Place 1 cup of arugula on top of the beets.
Spread 4 to 5 goat-cheese balls around the salad, and top with 2 teaspoons of pignoli nuts.
Drizzle 1 teaspoon of balsamic syrup and 1 teaspoon of olive oil over each serving.Repeat the assembly procedure for the other 5 servings!Many markets carry Balsamic Glaze, (balsamic vinegars that have been reduced and thickened) You can also make your own. Recipe below.*1 (16.9 fluid-ounce) bottle balsamic vinegar
Pour the whole bottle of vinegar into a small saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat. Lower heat to medium-high and continue to boil until the vinegar starts to thicken and forms a syrup like consistency, about 15 to 20 minutes. Be careful not to thicken too much or you will end up with a thick black goop. To test, use a wooden spoon: if the syrup coats the back of the spoon, it is ready to remove from the heat.
Let it cool to room temperature before you store in the in the refrigerator. I use a needle-nose plastic bottle to store my glaze after it has cooled. It will last up to 2 months in the refrigerator. Its very concentrated so a tiny bit goes a long way!
