Scalloped Beets With Chèvre, Rosemary, And Walnuts
- 8 medium-sized beets
- 3 garlic cloves, minced and divided
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped and divided
- 1 teaspoon salt, divided
- 8 ounces chevre, divided
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup walnuts, roughly chopped
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- Preheat oven to 400u0b0 F. Wash beets thoroughly. Poke a few holes in them with a knife or fork. Put them in an ovenproof skillet or pan and drizzle with a little olive oil. Cover pan with foil.
- Roast beets for 1 hour, undisturbed. You will know they are ready when they are easily pierced with a knife.
- Once done, take beets out of the oven and dunk in an ice bath. Peel off their skin. When cool enough to handle, use either a food processor or a sharp knife to cut beets thinly.
- Layer half the beets along the bottom of an overnproof dish or skillet .Sprinkle half the garlic, rosemary, half of the salt, and 1 oz. of the goat cheese on top. Layer on the rest of the beets. Sprinkle with the remainder of the garlic, rosemary, the rest of the salt, and another 1 oz. goat cheese.
- Heat cream in a small saucepan over medium heat. Once warm, add the reserved 6 oz. of goat cheese and stir until it melts into the cream.
- Pour the hot cream mixture over the top of the beets. Give the pan a little shake or bang it against the counter to help the cream settle between the layers.
- Top with chopped walnuts and black pepper. Bake for 20 minutes or until the cream bubbles. Serve warm.
