Ingredients
- For the Carpaccio:
- 3 medium beets (red or golden, or a mix)
- 2 oz goat cheese or feta, crumbled
Fresh arugula , sprouts, pine nuts or any microgreens
Salt and black pepper chef mesh
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- For the Balsamic Reduction:
- 1 cup balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
Directions
- 1. Prepare the Beets:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Wrap each beet individually in aluminum foil and roast for about 45-60 minutes, or until tender when pierced with a fork. Alternatively, you can boil or steam the beets until soft.
2. Peel and Slice the Beets: cooled, peel the beets using your hands or a paper towel. Slice them thinly using a mandoline or a sharp knife, aiming for paper-thin slices.
3. Make the Balsamic Reduction: a small saucepan, combine the balsamic vinegar and honey (if using). Bring to a simmer over medium heat and reduce the heat to low. Let it simmer until thickened, about 10-15 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.
4. Assemble the Carpaccio: a large serving plate, arrange the beet slices in a circular pattern, slightly overlapping them. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
5. Add the Toppings: the crumbled goat cheese or feta over the beets. Drizzle the balsamic reduction on top, creating a beautiful presentation.
6. Garnish and Serve: with fresh arugula or microgreens for a touch of color. Serve immediately as a refreshing appetizer or elegant side dish.
