Ingredients

Directions

  1. Heat the oven to 400° F.
  2. Place 3 of the beets on a large sheet of foil and wrap tightly. Repeat with the remaining beets. Roast until tender, about 1 hour. Let cool for about 10 minutes. Using a small knife, peel each beet and trim the ends. Place a piece of parchment or plastic wrap on a cutting board. Slice the beets 1/8 to 1/4 inch thick; set aside to cool completely.
  3. Meanwhile, in a small bowl combine the goat cheese, chives, salt, and pepper.
  4. To assemble, place 1 beet slice on a platter. Spread 1/2 teaspoon of the cheese mixture over the beet. Top with another slice; repeat with one more slice of beet and 1 more teaspoon of the cheese mixture. You should have a stack of three slices of beet with some cheese mixture in between each slice. Repeat with the remaining beets and cheese mixture. Arrange the napoleons on a platter and drizzle with the chive puree. Serve immediately.

    Turnips

    Although the turnip has been grown for more than 4,000 years and was one of the first foods to be cultivated in Europe, it is currently underappreciated: It keeps well, takes to almost any cooking method, and has a subtly flavored, tasty flesh.
