Roasted Kelly Way Garden Beet Salad

By B. David Miyares | May 2, 2018

Ingredients:

For the salad:
4 to 5 red Beets, washed
Oil for Roasting
½ lb. Fresh Arugula, stemmed, washed, patted dry
6 ozs. Skinny Beans, trimmed & blanched
½ Lemon squeezed for juice
Extra Virgin Olive Oil
to taste Kosher Salt & Pepper
1 Parsnip, peeled into ribbons
Soybean oil for frying

For the “Crave Brothers” Mascarpone Cheese:
4 ozs. Crave Brothers Farmstead Mascarpone Cheese
1 4-inch Sprig Rosemary, stemmed & chopped
2 4-inch Sprig Fresh Thyme, stemmed & chopped
to taste Kosher Salt & Pepper

For the Pesto:
15 to 20 Basil Leaves, stemmed
2 cloves Garlic, peeled
½ cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil
to taste Kosher Salt & Pepper

Procedure:

  • Preheat oven to 350˚ F. Toss the beets in oil and season with salt.
  • Place on a baking sheet and roast at 350°F for 1 hour or until tender. Allow to cool and then peel. Cut the beets into size-appropriate pieces; reserve, chill.
  • Blanch parsnip curls in boiling water for 30 seconds; drain, pat dry. Heat the vegetable oil to 350˚F. Fry parsnip curls until crispy; reserve on a paper towel-lined plate until needed.   
  • For the mascarpone cheese: In a small mixing bowl combine the mascarpone cheese, chopped rosemary, thyme; mix into a smooth spread and season with kosher salt and pepper to taste. Chill until ready for assembly.
  • For the Pesto: Place the basil leaves, garlic, extra virgin olive oil in a blender; blend until smooth, approx. 30 seconds. Season with kosher salt and pepper to taste. Chill until ready for assembly.
  • For final presentation: Using a spoon, portion the mascarpone cheese into the center of the desired serving plate. Arrange the roasted beet pieces on top of the mascarpone cheese. In a separate bowl, place the arugula, skinny beans; toss in the extra virgin olive oil and lemon juice. Season with kosher salt and pepper; place a portion on top of the beets. Garnish the salad with the fried parsnip curls. Dot the pesto around the salad and serve.
