Napoleones de remolacha y pera con vinagreta de jugo de jengibre

Ingredients for Beet and Pear Napoleons with Ginger Juice Vinaigrette

• 2 trimmed medium red beets (about 3 1/2 inches in diameter

• about 800g), scrubbed

• 1 (4-inch) piece peeled ginger

• 80ml de jugo de naranja fresco

• 1/4 cucharaditas de azúcar

• 1 1/2 cucharadas de aceite de oliva virgen extra

• 2 large firm-ripe Anjou pears

• 1 bunch tarragon

• 1 cup mixed baby greens (preferably spicy)

• 1 Granny Smith apple

• Equipment: a 1-inch round biscuit cutter

• Garnish: sea salt such as Maldon

• poppy seeds

Precalienta el horno a 232°C con la rejilla en el medio.

Wrap beets in foil and roast until tender, about 1 1/2 hours. Let stand until cool enough to handle, then slice crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick rounds. Cool completely.

Meanwhile, finely grate ginger with a Microplane over a kitchen-towel-lined bowl. Carefully gather towel around ginger and squeeze until you have 2 tablespoons ginger juice. Whisk in orange juice, sugar, and oil. Season with salt and pepper. Divide vinaigrette evenly between 2 small bowls.

Cut pears lengthwise around core into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Cut out 18 rounds from slices using biscuit cutter and put in one bowl of vinaigrette.

Cut out 18 rounds from beet slices and put in other bowl. Toss pears and beets with vinaigrette to coat well.

To assemble napoleons, put 1 beet round on each of 6 plates and top with a tarragon leaf. Top with 1 pear round, then another tarragon leaf. Repeat layering 2 more times. Discard vinaigrette used for beets.

Toss greens with some of remaining vinaigrette and place around each napoleon. Finely grate apple (including skin) into a bowl. Spoon a heaping teaspoon apple on top of each napoleon, then sprinkle with sea salt and poppy seeds. Drizzle with more vinaigrette if desired.
