Honey Bourbon Dressing for Roasted Beets

by Jan 21, 2015

Amaltheia’s sweetly earthy beets, Poor Orphan’s farmstead fromage blanc, and Mountain Vista Farm’s “sunnies” (sunflower sprouts) all dressed with a honey bourbon dressing (thank you, Olivelle!).  Almost a dessert when you add candied walnuts.  Yum in parts and in whole.  (If you don’t have the honey balsamic vinegar, add a teaspoon of honey to your dressing and substitute additional Champagne vinegar or balsamic vinegar.)

 

Roasted Beets:  Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.  Cut off beet greens leaving 1 inch stems, leave root end in place.  Scrub clean with water and place in glass baking dish.  Add water to about 1/4 inch, cover tightly with foil, and bake for about 45 minutes, until beets are fork-tender.  When cool enough to handle, peel then chop each beet pole-to-pole into 8 wedges.  Roasted beets will keep in refrigerator for up to a week.
