Sorrel-Wrapped Goat Cheese and Beet Stacks

• 6 medium yellow or red beets (2 1/2 pounds with greens), trimmed, leaving 1 inch of stems attached
• 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
• 2 (1 1/2-inch-diameter) logs fresh mild goat cheese (herbed or plain; 8 ounces total), chilled
• 30 fresh sorrel leaves (about 4 by 2 inches), leaves halved lengthwise and center ribs and stems discarded
• Special equipment: a 1 1/2-inch round cookie cutter (at least 1 inch deep); wooden picks

1. Preheat oven to 425F.
2. Wrap beets in foil in 2 packages (3 per package) and roast in middle of oven until tender, 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 hours.
3. When cool enough to handle, peel beets and cut off stems and root ends.
4. Halve beets crosswise and arrange, cut sides down, on a work surface.
5. Cut out a cylinder from each half with cookie cutter.
6. Halve each cylinder lengthwise, then cut crosswise into generous 1/4-inch-thick slices.
7. Line a tray with plastic wrap and brush plastic wrap with some oil.
8. Cut cheese logs crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick slices with an oiled knife, then halve slices.
9. Arrange cheese slices in 1 layer on tray and brush with some oil, then top each with a slice of beet.
10. Arrange sorrel leaf halves, veined sides up, on work surface.
11. Put a cheese and beet stack in middle of each leaf half, then wrap sorrel over stack and secure with a pick.
