Fresh Beets with Goat cheese and spinach.
- 1 bunch of fresh beets
- 8 oz bag of fresh spinach
- 4 oz Goat cheese
Total time: 40 minutes. Most of which is just boiling the beets.
Special tools: A pair of disposable gloves helps, but is not necessary.
Trim the beets of the greens and other non-desireable pieces. Place then in a pot of water and bring to a boil and let sit for at lest 25 minutes. Cook until fork tender, and turn off heat. You can let them sit in the water while you prepare the rest of the dish, or the rest of your meal.
Break up the goat cheese in a bowl larger enough to add and mix warm beets.
Discard the skins and dice the beets to desired size.
Place warm beets in the bowl with the goat cheese and mix thoroughly. The beets should turn a beautiful pink color as the cheese melts.
Serve of a bed of spinach, while still warm.
Salt and pepper to taste. Sprinkle a small amount of goat cheese on top of finished product to garnish. .
