Roasted Citrus Beets (makes 4 servings)

Ingredients: 


1 grapefruit  
2 ounce goat cheese, crumbled
1 lemon
¼ cup toasted walnuts
1½ pounds mixed red and gold beets, peeled and cut
1 teaspoon olive oil
2 tablespoons jarred orange marmalade



Directions:


Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Use a peeler to take 4 wide strips of zest of the grapefruit and lemon. Set aside. Place two pieces of foil, each about 12 inches square, on a work surface. Place the red beets, 2 strips of grapefruit zest, 2 strips of lemon zest and ½ a teaspoon of olive oil in the center of one. Bring the two opposite sides of the foil together and fold over to secure. Roll up remaining two sides to form a pocket. Place the gold beets and the remaining grapefruit zest, lemon zest and olive oil on the other piece of foil and secure in the same way. Place both packets on a baking sheet and roast for 45 minutes. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes or until the packets are cool enough to handle, then open and remove zest. Finely julienne one strip from each of roasted lemon zest and roasted grapefruit zest and set the strips aside. In a medium bowl, combine marmalade with zest. Add the beets and toss to coat, then top with goat cheese and walnuts; serve immediately.
