Categories     Salad     Mushroom     Onion     Goat Cheese     Beet     Summer

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 29

For the onion purée:
1 tablespoon olive oil
5 cipollini onions, peeled and cut into quarters
1/2 medium shallot, minced
Salt
5 tablespoons heavy cream
For the mushrooms:
3 tablespoons walnut oil
2 ounces fresh chanterelle mushrooms, cleaned and trimmed
2 ounces fresh black trumpet mushrooms, cleaned and trimmed
2 ounces fresh royal trumpet mushrooms, cleaned, trimmed, and cut into quarters
4 sprigs fresh sage
Salt
For the roasted beets:
8 medium red beets, trimmed and scrubbed
8 medium golden beets, trimmed and scrubbed
1/4 cup olive oil
Zest and juice of 1 Meyer lemon
2 tablespoons minced fresh chives
Salt
For the pumpkin seeds:
1/4 cup pumpkin seeds
2 tablespoons walnut oil
Salt
For the English peas:
20 English peas, shelled
Salt
To serve:
1/4 cup goat cheese

Steps:

  • Make the onion purée:
  • In a medium sauté pan over moderate heat, warm the oil. Add the onions and shallot and sauté, stirring occasionally, until soft. Season with salt, add the heavy cream, and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes. Transfer the onion mixture to a food processor or blender and process until smooth.
  • Make the mushrooms:
  • In a medium sauté pan over high heat, warm the walnut oil. Add the mushrooms, in batches if necessary, and sauté, stirring occasionally, until the liquid released by the mushrooms is evaporated, about 5 minutes. Add the sage, season with salt, and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are golden and tender.
  • Roast the beets:
  • Preheat the oven to 425°F.
  • Arrange the beets in a large, deep baking dish and drizzle with the oil. Add enough water to reach about 1/4 inch up the sides of the baking dish. Cover with foil and roast until the beets are tender, about 45 minutes. Once the beets are cool enough to handle, peel them and cut them into quarters. Transfer the beets to a medium bowl, add lemon zest, lemon juice, and chives, season with salt, and toss to combine.
  • Toast the pumpkin seeds:
  • Preheat the oven to 375°F.
  • Arrange the pumpkin seeds on a large, rimmed baking sheet, drizzle with walnut oil, and toss to combine. Roast until toasted, about 10 minutes, then toss with salt.
  • Cook the peas:
  • Fill a large bowl with ice water.
  • In a large pot of boiling salted water, blanch the peas until just tender. Drain, then immediately plunge the peas into the ice water to stop cooking. Drain the peas again and pat them dry.
  • To serve:
  • In a large bowl combine the mushrooms, beets, peas, goat cheese, and onion purée and toss to combine. Divide the salad among 4 plates, sprinkle with toasted pumpkin seeds, and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose the right beets: Look for beets that are firm and smooth, with no blemishes or bruises. Smaller beets will cook more evenly.
  • Roast the beets properly: To get the best flavor and texture, roast the beets until they are tender but still hold their shape. You can roast them whole, wrapped in foil, or cut into wedges or cubes.
  • Use a variety of onions: This recipe calls for red onion, but you can also use yellow or white onions. For a milder flavor, use sweet onions like Vidalia or Walla Walla.
  • Don't skip the vinegar: The vinegar in this recipe helps to balance out the sweetness of the beets and onions. You can use any type of vinegar you like, but red wine vinegar or balsamic vinegar are good choices.
  • Add some herbs: Fresh herbs like thyme, rosemary, or oregano can add a nice flavor to this salad. Stir them in just before serving.

Conclusion:

Roasted beet and onion salad is a delicious and healthy side dish that can be enjoyed year-round. It's perfect for potlucks, picnics, or everyday meals. The beets and onions are roasted until caramelized, and then tossed with a simple vinaigrette. The result is a salad that is both sweet and savory, with a slightly tangy finish.
