ROASTED ROOT VEGETABLES WITH HONEY, BALSAMIC VINEGAR, AND FRESH GOAT CHEESE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350. Toss the vegetables with the olive oil and salt and pepper in a big bowl (I just did it on the baking sheet, which I also lined with aluminum foil to help with cleanup). Dump them out onto a baking sheet in a single layer and roast for 25 minutes. Whisk together the honey and vinegar in a small bowl. Take the vegetables out of the oven, pour the vinegar-hone mixture over, and toss. Return the pan to the oven and cook until for tender and caramelized, about 20 more minutes. Top with pieces of goat cheese.

BEET RAVIOLI WITH PINE NUT "GOAT CHEESE" ROSEMARY-CREAM SAUCE, AGED BALSAMIC VINEGAR

Steps:

• Pine Nut "Goat Cheese"
• Process all ingredients in a food processor until as smooth as possible.
• You should have about 4 cups. Reserve 2 cups for the sauce, and set aside the remainder.
• Rosemary-Cream Sauce
• Puree all the ingredients in a high-speed blender until smooth.
• To Finish
• Using a mandoline, slice the beets very thin (so they are pliable and not stiff, approximately 1/16 of an inch or less).
• Make small stacks of the larger pieces and use a sharp knife to cut into squares-the size doesn't matter much, as long as they are all roughly the same. Alternatively, use a round-, heart-or other- shaped cookie cutter to cut the slices. Cut at least 40 slices-10 per serving, with a few extra to spare.
• In a medium bowl, place the beet slices, oil, lemon juice, and salt and toss gently to coat evenly. Allowing the beets to sit for a half hour or more will soften them; this is optional but a good idea if your slices are on the thicker side and still a bit stiff.
• Lay half the beet slices on a clean work surface and top each with a rounded teaspoonful of the cheese. Top with the remaining beet slices and press down gently.
• Spoon the sauce onto serving plates, and arrange the ravioli on top. Garnish with a few drops of aged balsamic vinegar and a few sprigs of either microgreens or fresh herbs.

GRILLED ASPARAGUS WITH BALSAMIC VINEGAR & BLUE CHEESE

Steps:

• Heat a gas grill to medium. Put the asparagus on a rimmed baking sheet, drizzle with 2 Tbs. of the oil, and season with 1/2 tsp salt and a few generous grinds of pepper. Turn to coat. Grill the asparagus (covered on a gas grill) until it has nice grill marks, about 4 minutes. Turn and continue cooking until tender and browned, about 4 minutes; transfer to a large platter. Reduce heat on the gas grill to medium low. On a rimmed baking sheet, coat the onions with 2 Tbs. of the oil, 1/2 tsp salt and several grinds of pepper. Grill covered, until tender and browned, 8 to 10 minutes per side. Return onions to baking sheet. In a small bowl, whisk the remaining 1/4 cup olive oil with the vinegar and thyme. Toss the asparagus with about half of the vinaigrette and then transfer to a platter. Scatter the onions over the asparagus and drizzle with the remaining vinaigrette. Sprinkle with blue cheese and pine nuts and serve. This salad can sit for up to 1 hour at room temperature.
