Ask the hotline about this step!This is lovely! I tried it last night, without the goat cheese, using brown basmati rice and champagne vinegar instead of sherry vinegar (because that was what I had on hand). It was so tasty. Thank you for posting this recipe! I am always looking for new ways to prepare beets, especially yellow ones. This one's going to the next potluck I attend. Cheers ;o)
This is indeed lovely! I roasted my small golden beets. I didn't have any shallots handy so I used some red onion and scallions. I was also out of goat cheese. With a trip to the store out of the question I substituted some blue cheese. It really worked out well. Thank you for posting this. Next time I will try the recipe's version
