Ingredients

9 beets
1/3 large shallot
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
2 tbsp white balsamic vinegar
1 tsp sugar
kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 pinch salt
6 oz goat cheese
1 egg
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup bread crumbs
2 1/2 cups canola oil
1 avocado
1/4 cup shelled pistachios or pistachio meat
snipped chives for garnish (optional)

Steps

Heat the oven to 425 F, wrap the beets in foil, and roast them for 30 minutes until tender.
Cool, peel, and slice the beets, then whisk olive oil, vinegar, sugar, shallot, salt, and pepper into a dressing.
Slice the goat cheese into rounds, coat each round in flour, beaten egg, and breadcrumbs, and chill for 5 minutes.
Heat the canola oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and fry the cheese for 1 to 2 minutes per side until golden.
Arrange the beets and sliced avocado on a platter, drizzle with dressing, and top with fried goat cheese, pistachios, and chives.
