Beet and Goat Cheese Stack

This and other tantalizing recipes are available in the cookbook Chef! The Stories and Recipes of Chef Paul Mattison, available for purchase at Mattison’s Forty-One or at www.Mattisons.com [1].

Beet and Goat Cheese Stack

Serves four

4 medium beets
2 Tbsp olive oil
2 tsp salt
12 goat cheese slices, ¼ inch
2 cups baby arugula
Candied Walnuts

Remove the tops and bottoms of the beets. Rub them with olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Cover and roast at 350ºF for 1¼ to 1½ hours. Peel and cool then cut into 16 slices, ¼ inch each. Starting with a beet slice, alternate with goat cheese slices, ending with a beet slice on top. Garnish with baby arugula, orange segments, grapes, Walnut Vinaigrette and Candied Walnuts.

Candied Walnuts

1 cup unsalted walnuts
2 Tbsp butter
2 Tbsp brown sugar
½ tsp cinnamon
½ tsp salt

Preheat oven to 350ºF. Rough chop the walnuts. Melt the butter in a large non-stick sauté pan over medium heat. Add the walnuts and stir to coat. Add the sugar, cinnamon and salt, then stir again until thoroughly coated. Spread out evenly on a sheet tray and bake for 5 minutes. Stir and cook for another 3 to 5 minutes. Be careful, the nuts can burn easily. Cool before serving.

Walnut Vinaigrette

1 egg yolk
1 tsp chopped shallots
½ chopped garlic clove
1 tsp Dijon mustard
½ cup rice wine vinegar
½ cup walnut oil
½ cup vegetable oil
Salt and pepper to taste

Combine the egg yolk, shallots, garlic, mustard and vinegar in a blender and purée on high until smooth. Reduce speed to low and slowly drizzle in the walnut and vegetable oil. Season to taste.

Enjoy!
