Beets with Goat Cheese, Nigella Seeds, and Pistachios Peden & Munk

Steaming is back! The vinegar-and-spice-infused liquid flavors the beets as they cook.

Ingredients

2 tablespoons chopped raw pistachios
1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
3/4 teaspoon hot smoked Spanish paprika, divided
Kosher salt
1 pound beets, scrubbed, peeled, cut into 1/2" pieces
4 ounces fresh goat cheese, crumbled, divided
Freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon nigella seeds
Flaky sea salt (such as Maldon)
Olive oil (for serving)

Ingredient info:

Nigella seeds are available at Indian markets or online.

  1. Step 1

    Toast pistachios in a dry small skillet over medium-high heat, stirring often, until golden brown, about 5 minutes; let cool.

    Step 2

    Combine 1/4 cup vinegar, 1/2 teaspoon paprika, and a pinch of kosher salt in a large saucepan and add water so mixture comes 1" up sides of pan. Fit with a steamer basket and bring liquid to a simmer over medium. Add beets, cover pan, and steam until tender, 30-40 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl and let cool slightly.

    Step 3

    While beets are still warm, add 2 ounces goat cheese, remaining 1 tablespoon vinegar, and remaining 1/4 teaspoon paprika; season with kosher salt and pepper. Coarsely smash beets with a fork or potato masher, leaving some bigger pieces.

    Step 4

    Serve topped with nigella seeds, pistachios, sea salt, and remaining goat cheese and drizzled with oil.

  • Interesting cooking method, although I'd leave it longer next time. I'm not sold on mashing the beets with the goat cheese, because I ended up with pink beets. I took the other suggestions and added a friend egg. I might try it again with yellow beets to avoid some of the mess.

  • I loved the idea of serving with arugula and fried egg. Three small beets was enough for 2 of us for dinner. I think the steaming in vinegar/paprika does actually flavor the beets well. It's certainly a pretty dish.

  • 我不确定有多少额外的味道蒸gave vs just roasting, though they are about the same amount of effort and cleanup so I didn't mind. The flavors all worked well together. I fried some eggs and served it over arugula to make it a main sized dinner.
