ROASTED-BEET SALAD WITH SHERRY VINAIGRETTE
(adapted fron a recipe by Sang Yoon of Father's Office)
2 bunches baby beets (about 8)
Baby lettuces (mache or red oak or mesclun)
Fresh goat-cheese crumbles
Heat oven to 375. Rinse beets, removing the greens (don't cut the root tip and leave 2 inches of the leaves attached). Wrap each in foil and place in a shallow pan or sheet. (You may add half a star anise to each foil packet if you like.) Roast 45 minutes to 1 hour, until easily pierced with a knife. When cool enough to handle, peel beets and either slice or cut into half-inch cubes.
Vinaigrette
3 ounces sherry vinegar
2 tablespoons sugar
1⁄2 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons chopped shallots
4 ounces extra-virgin olive oil
Whisk all ingredients. Marinate roasted beets with vinaigrette at least 3 hours, then remove beets and set aside. Toss baby lettuces with vinaigrette to taste and spoon prepared beets atop greens. Garnish with goat cheese. (Add chopped walnuts if you like.)
