Description

A modern, seasonal cold dish: delicate slices of roasted beetroot paired with slightly sweet and sour pickled pear, velvety goat cheese cream, and crunchy walnut and panko crumble. The contrast of textures (the softness of the beetroot and cream vs. the crunch of the crumble) and the contrast of flavors (earthy beetroot, sweetness of the pear, balsamic acidity, and creamy note of goat cheese) create a bold yet elegant combination. The dish is visually striking thanks to the layers of color: deep red beetroot, golden pears, and gold-nutty crumble. Perfect as an appetizer or a light dinner for a winter gathering. Recipe variant: 60e9faa9.

Preparation steps

Preparing the beets

1

Preheat the oven to 200°C (top-bottom). Wash the beets under cold water, trim the stems and root with a knife. Do not peel. Wrap each beet individually in aluminum foil (to prevent juice loss). Place them on a baking sheet and bake for 45–60 minutes (the time depends on size; for 800 g, 45–50 minutes is usually sufficient). Check for doneness: insert a sharp knife or toothpick into the largest beet — if it goes in easily, the beets are done.

Ingredients: Raw beetroot
Use kitchen gloves to remove the hot beets and the baking dish. A common mistake: missing the fork test — undercooked beets will be hard and difficult to cut. Alternative: instead of baking, you can boil the beets in salted water for 30–40 minutes.
2

After baking, set the beets aside for 20–30 minutes to cool completely (very important — hot beets release a lot of juice and are harder to slice thinly). Once they are cool, remove the foil and scrape off the skin: use a paper towel or rub the skin with a knife — the skin should come off easily.

Ingredients: Raw beetroot
To peel, use a paper towel (the skin comes off more easily and your hands will stay clean). Do not peel hot beets, as they will burn and cause the slices to fall apart.

Slicing

3

Using a mandoline set to a thin setting (2–3 mm) or a very sharp knife, slice the beets into even rounds. Lay the slices on a board in a single layer to prevent them from sticking together. Even slices are important for the aesthetics of the carpaccio and for a uniform flavor.

Ingredients: Raw beetroot
If you are using a mandoline, put on the protective hand guard. When cutting with a knife, use a long, sharp chef's knife and make even, smooth strokes. The mistake: uneven slices look unappealing.

Marinating pears

4

Wash the pears, cut them in half, remove the seeds with a teaspoon, and slice them thinly (about 2–3 mm). In a bowl, mix 30 g of balsamic vinegar, 15 g of lemon juice, 15 g of honey (half of the honey from the recipe), and a pinch of salt. Place the pear slices in the marinade, gently mix, cover, and let sit for 15–20 minutes — the pears will soften slightly and gain a shine.

Ingredients: Pear, Balsamic vinegar, Lemon juice, Honey, Sea salt
Use a flat dish to ensure the pear slices are evenly coated with the marinade. Do not leave the pears for too long (over 40 minutes), as they will become too soft.

Goat Cheese Cream

5

In a bowl, crumble 200 g of goat cheese with a fork. Add 120 g of Greek yogurt, 15 g of olive oil, the remaining honey (15 g), 1 g of pepper, and 1 g (a pinch) of salt to taste. Mix vigorously with a fork or use a small hand blender for 10–15 seconds until the mixture is smooth, creamy, and slightly fluffy. The cream should be thick enough to be shaped with a spoon, but loose enough to spread easily.

Ingredients: Fresh goat cheese, Greek yogurt, Olive oil, Honey, Ground black pepper, Sea salt
Use a bowl with a diameter of about 18–20 cm and a fork or hand blender. If the cream is too thick, add 5 g of yogurt at a time; if too runny, add a bit of cheese. Note: mixing too long with a too powerful blender can cause the cream to become too watery.

Preparing the crumble

6

Chop the walnuts into uneven pieces (not into dust). In a medium skillet, melt 30 g of butter over medium heat. Add 80 g of walnuts and sauté for 2–3 minutes until you can smell the nutty aroma. Add 40 g of panko and cook for another 2–3 minutes, stirring, until the panko turns golden brown. Add 15 g of honey (the rest used for the cream), quickly mix, and remove from heat. Finally, stir in 5 g of fresh thyme (chopped leaves). The crumble should be golden, crunchy, and slightly sticky from the honey.

Ingredients: Walnuts, Butter, Panko (breadcrumbs), Honey, Fresh thyme
Use a pan with a diameter of 24–26 cm. Stir with a wooden spatula to prevent the ingredients from sticking. A common mistake: frying on too high heat — panko will burn quickly. If you notice darkening, immediately reduce the heat.

Balsamic reduction (optional)

7

In a small saucepan, pour in the remaining 15 g of balsamic vinegar and heat over low heat for 6–8 minutes, until it thickens slightly and takes on a syrup-like consistency. Be careful not to burn it — a small amount should clearly reduce in volume and caramelize gently.

Ingredients: Balsamic vinegar
Use a small saucepan and a wooden spoon for stirring. The reduction will thicken as it cools — do not reduce it to a complete thickness, keep a liquid consistency for decoration. If you don't want the reduction, you can skip this step and use balsamic vinegar straight from the bottle.

Assembly and serving

8

On plates (preferably flat, light-colored), arrange the beet slices in a fan shape — slightly overlapping layers, forming a circle or strip. Between the beet slices, place thin slices of pickled pear at intervals of every 2–3 beet slices to create a contrast of color and flavor. In the center or at several points, spoon small dollops of goat cheese cream. Evenly sprinkle the whole dish with nut crumble (about 1 tablespoon per serving). Drizzle lightly with oil (the remainder from 30 g, if any is left) and draw a few thin lines of balsamic reduction around. Top with fresh microgreens or arugula (if using), add thyme leaves for decoration, and season with a pinch of sea salt and freshly ground pepper to taste.

Ingredients: Raw beetroot, Pear, Fresh goat cheese, Walnuts, Panko (breadcrumbs), Olive oil, Balsamic vinegar, Arugula, Microgreens (mix), Fresh thyme, Sea salt, Ground black pepper
Use flat plates with a diameter of 24–28 cm to allow for composition. Assemble each plate just before serving to keep the crumble crispy. A common mistake: putting cream on hot beets — the cream may melt; make sure the beets are completely cool.

Final touches

9

Try one serving and adjust the seasonings: if needed, add a pinch of salt or a drop of lemon juice to the cream. Serve immediately to maintain the contrast of temperatures and textures.

Ingredients: Sea salt, Lemon juice, Fresh goat cheese
For tasting, use a small teaspoon. The dish tastes best within 30 minutes of assembly.

Fun Fact

💡

Beets were a popular vegetable as far back as ancient times, but it wasn't until the 19th century that they began to be used fresh and roasted in more refined dishes. The combination of earthy beets with goat cheese is a classic of Mediterranean cuisine that offers a great flavor contrast.

Tips

🍽️ Serving

Serve on a light, flat plate to contrast the colors. Accompany with a thin piece of crispy bread on the side. You can serve a small portion as an appetizer (2–3 slices of beet per person) or as a main dish for those who appreciate light meals.

🥡 Storage

Store separately: baked and peeled beets in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days; goat cheese cream for up to 2 days; crumble is best stored in a dry container at room temperature for up to 3 days. The assembled dish should be stored in the fridge for a maximum of 24 hours, but the crumble will lose its crunch — it's best to keep the components separate and assemble just before serving. The balsamic reduction can be stored in the fridge for up to a week.
