Ingredients

2 pounds beets, peeled and cut into wedges
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh rosemary
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Vegetable oil, for frying
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2 large eggs, beaten
1 cup seasoned breadcrumbs
Three 4-ounce goat cheese logs, cut into 12 slices
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
Pinch sugar
12 cups mixed greens

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Spread the beets on a baking sheet. In a bowl, whisk together the olive oil, vinegar, rosemary and some salt and pepper. Reserve one-quarter of the dressing for the salad and pour the rest over the beets. Roast until the beets are tender, 45 to 50 minutes.
While the beets are cooking, heat 1/4 inch of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Put the flour, eggs and breadcrumbs in separate shallow bowls. Coat the goat cheese slices first in the flour, then in the egg, then in the breadcrumbs. Fry the slices until golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
Whisk the mustard and sugar into the reserved dressing, then pour over the greens in a large bowl and toss to coat. Divide the greens among 6 plates, add the beets on top and place 2 fried goat cheese slices on top.

Ingredients

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.
