Salad of Roasted Beets and Arugula with Blue Cheese Dressing

Ingredients:

3 bunches baby beets, washed, trimmed, and halved
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 handful fresh thyme sprigs
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
5 bunches arugula, washed, dried, and hand-torn
Celery leaves from 1 bunch celery, about 1/2 cup
1 cup walnut halves and pieces, toasted
1/2 pound blue cheese, crumbled
1 cup sour cream
2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
1 lemon, juiced
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

Procedures:

Lay the beets on a large sheet of aluminum foil, drizzle with the oil, toss the thyme on top, and season with salt and pepper. Fold up the foil tightly to make a sealed pouch and put it on a sheet pan. Bake until the beets are tender when pierced, about 45 minutes to 1 hour. (Drop a knife in the center of 1 beet; if it slides out without resistance, they're done.) Let the beets cool to room temperature and remove skins. Put beets in a large mixing bowl. Add the arugula, celery leaves, and walnuts; toss to combine.
To make the blue cheese dressing: Put the blue cheese and sour cream in a bowl, mashing with a fork to combine. Add the chives, lemon juice, and a few turns of freshly ground black pepper; mix to incorporate, leaving a few chunks of cheese in the dressing. Thin out the dressing with a tablespoon of water, if you wish, to smooth out the consistency.

Mushroom Soup with Chestnuts and Roasted Fennel

Ingredients:

6 small fennel bulbs, stalks removed, halved lengthwise
Extra-virgin olive oil
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
1 large onion, chopped
4 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 bunch fresh thyme sprigs, leaves stripped from the stem
1 pound white button mushrooms, wiped of grit and coarsely chopped
1 pound oyster mushrooms, wiped of grit and coarsely chopped
1 pound chanterelle mushrooms, wiped of grit and coarsely chopped
1 pound cooked chestnuts
3 quarts chicken stock
1/2 cup heavy cream
Fresh chopped chives, for garnishPreheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

Procedures:

Put the fennel halves, cut-side up, in a baking dish and drizzle with enough olive oil to come up half-way; season with a generous amount of salt and pepper. Roast for 30 minutes or until completely tender – the roasted fennel is the base of the soup, so it's important the flesh is soft enough to be cut with a spoon.

In a large pot, melt the butter over medium flame; add the onion and garlic, saute for 4 minutes until translucent. Toss the thyme into the pan, along with the mushrooms; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring, for 10 to 15 minutes, until the mushrooms give off their liquid. Add the chestnuts and cook for a few more minutes until they have some nice color on them. Remove about 1 cup of the mixture to save as a garnish for the soup.

Pour the stock into the pot and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer, uncovered, for 15 minutes, stirring now and then. Remove from the heat and puree the soup until completely smooth, using a handheld or regular blender. Stir in the cream to make the soup even richer, and simmer gently for 5 minutes. Taste for salt and pepper.

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup sugar

  • 4 tablespoons caster or superfine sugar (granulated sugar can be used if needed)
