This dish would be excellent with a handful of nuts thrown in at the end (walnuts or almonds) and feta could be substituted for the goat cheese.
Yield: 6 servings
4 large beets
1 onion, sliced
1 tablespoon olive oil
pinch of sea salt and ground pepper
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon dried chili flakes
4 tablespoons balsamic vinegar, divided
2 tablespoons butter
1/3 cup crumbled goat cheese
small handful of fresh parsley, torn
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. (180 degrees C.)
2. In a large roasting pan, add the beets, onion, olive oil, salt, ground pepper, dried oregano, thyme, chili flakes and balsamic vinegar. Toss to coat and disperse ingredients. Spread out in a single layer at the bottom of the pan and dot the top with butter.
3. Roast for 1 hour. Drain off liquid into a small sauce pan and reserve. Return to oven for an additional 2-1/2 hours. Stir occasionally.
4. Over a medium heat, add additional balsamic vinegar and simmer until thickened, around 3 minutes. Swirl pain occasionally to keep from burning.
5. Drizzle over balsamic reduction. Add goat cheese and parsley and gently toss. Serve warm or room temperature.
