Roasted Beets With Spicy Glaze, Toasted Walnuts, Goat Cheese, And Candy Shallots.

• 3 beets, mine were big fellas
• 2 tablespoons whole grain mustard
• 1 tablespoon tuong ot toi viet nam chili garlic sauce
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 2 cups or maybe like 5 or 6 big shallots
• 3 tablespoons butter, softened to room temp
• 1/3 cup brown sugar, packed
• 2 cups walnuts, halved
• 1/2 cup goat cheese crumbles

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Put the whole beets on a sheet pan lined with foil and parchment (or a silpat if you prefer) and fill shallowly with water. Bake for forty-five minutes.
2. While the beets are roasting up, prepare the spicy glaze by combining the whole grain mustard, chili garlic paste, and honey into a small bowl. Set aside.
3. When forty-five minutes are almost up, peel and quarter the shallots, then put them into a plastic bag with the three tablespoons of room temperature butter and the 1/3 cup brown sugar. Close up the bag and shake like its Shake n Bake!
4. After forty-five minutes or so, take the beets out of the oven. As soon as you can muster the courage, peel away, then chop into rather small chunks. Empty out the fuscia beet water from the sheet pan, but do keep it nearby because we will be using it soon. I was hungry, so I waited about thirty seconds before I started peeling them beets. Emma looked at me from over the top of her advertising research paper to ask, "doesn't that hurt?" She was very impressed with my skills.
5. Return the beet chunks back to the sheet pan, but only let them cover one half of the pan. Pour the chili garlic, mustard, honey mixture over the beets and gently massage until they are thoroughly coated. Next, put the walnuts in the middle of the sheet pan. Last, put your buttery, sugary shallots on the remaining area of the pan. Season everything with a good pinch of salt. Then, return to the oven for fifteen minutes or so, until the shallots are cooked through, the walnuts are toasty, and the beets are tender. I like putting everything on one pan like this because the flavors meld into the walnuts in a subtle and very yummy way. Also, its less to have to clean!
6. Serve the beets and walnuts with goat cheese crumbles and keep the shallots nearby as a sweet garnish.
