Make it October Beautiful! (October 15 – October 21, 2017)

Seasonal cuisine designs encourage a good appetite and the presentation can be simple but impacting. Golden beets create a stunning autumn salad. Simply wash and boil the beets in equal parts of water and white wine vinegar, with a quarter portion of sugar, until tender. Drain and chill. Within an hour of serving, melt one jar of marmalade in a skillet. Roll and simmer the cooked beets in the marmalade. Prepare the salad plates with layered fresh orange slices (trimming the rind off) and arugula greens.  Artfully, place the orange slices, the arugula and the lovely golden beets onto the salad plates. The beets can be served whole or sliced. Pair the beets with sliced Époisses or Langres orange (washed rind) cheese. A lovely light orange vinaigrette dressing will enhance this starter course.
