  • Fresh basil leaves cut into slivers (about 6 large leaves)
  • zest from 1/2 lemon
  • Pinch of kosher salt and ground black pepper

Instructions

  • In two separate pans boil water.
  • Add yellow beets to one pan and red to the other and cook for 30 minutes.
  • Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside to cool.
  • Take plastic wrap and line a loaf pan letting plastic wrap overhang on both sides, enough so that you can grab wrap to lift out finished terrine.
  • In a bowl, add goat cheese, lemon zest, olive oil, salt, pepper and pistachio and stir to blend.
  • When beets have cooled, peel and slice thinly.
  • Line pan with a layer of yellow beets, slightly overlapping.
  • Then add a 1/4 cup of goat cheese mixture, spreading over beets.
  • Add a sprinkle of basil slivers and a drizzle of olive oil.
  • Continue layering yellow beets, goat cheese, basil and olive oil four times and then start with red, continuing the layering four times.
  • *Make sure that you finish with a beet layer and drizzle of olive oil. (you will not reach top of pan.
  • Take plastic wrap flaps and cover your last layer
  • Place heavy cans on top of plastic to compress terrine. (I used marinara cans.
  • Place in refrigerator for 2 or more hours.
  • When you remove, unwrap and use plastic to lift terrine out of pan.
  • Slice and serve with drizzle of Olivari Olive oil
