Ingredients
Beets
1½ pound(s), 2 red and 2 golden
Soft-type goat cheese
5 oz
Chives
¼ tbsp(s), or tarragon, fresh, minced
Black pepper
½ pinch(es), freshly ground, or to taste
Sea salt
¼ oz, to taste
Balsamic vinegar
1 tsp(s), or to taste
Instructions
1
Scrub beets thoroughly but leave skin on. Cook beets by either steaming or roasting them until fork tender (about 1 hour depending on cooking method and size of beets).
2
While beets are cooking, in a small bowl, combine goat cheese with chives and pepper (add about 1 to 2 tablespoons hot water to make spread creamier, if necessary).
3
When beets are tender, remove from heat source and cool. When cool enough to handle, slip skin off with a paper towel. Trim ends and slice each beet into 8 even slices.
4
To make stacks, place 8 red beet slices and 8 golden beet slices on a work surface; spread an even, thick layer of cheese mixture over each. Top each beet stack with a slice of the other color beet; sprinkle each stack lightly with salt and drizzle with vinegar. Yields 2 stacks per serving.
