BEETS AND SMOKED SALMON

Steps:

• Arrange the beets on a rimmed baking sheet and sprinkle with some kosher salt. Add 1 cup water to the pan, then cover the pan tightly with foil. Bake until the beets are completely tender, 60 to 90 minutes. Remove the beets from the pan and let cool.
• Whisk together the lemon juice, mustard and vinegar in a medium bowl. Slowly whisk in 5 tablespoons of the olive oil.
• Drizzle a platter with the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Peel and thinly slice the beets. Arrange the beets on the platter, sprinkle with coarse salt and sugar to taste, and drizzle with the vinaigrette. Tear the smoked salmon into small pieces and scatter over the beets. Serve immediately.

• Preheat a grill to medium-high.

• Stem and seed the grilled jalapeno. Combine the jalapeno, mayonnaise, buttermilk, parsley, chives, lemon juice, dill, anchovy, garlic and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a blender and blend until smooth.
• Add just enough of the dressing to coat the salad; season with salt. Toss gently to combine.

SMOKED TROUT AND BEET SALAD WITH PINK CAVIAR

Steps:

• Make the vinaigrette: Put shallots, mustard, lemon zest and vinegars in a small bowl and stir together. Season with salt and pepper. Leave for 5 minutes to macerate, then whisk in oil. Set aside.
• Prepare the salad: Scrub beets, then simmer in abundant salted water until tender when pierced with a skewer, 20 to 25 minutes. Drain and cool slightly. When beets are still somewhat warm, rub off and discard skins. Trim any rough bits with a paring knife.
• Cut beets into half-moon slices, 1/4-inch thick, and place in a medium bowl. Add celery slices. Season with salt and pepper and dress with half the vinaigrette. Toss well with your hands to coat.
• Arrange salad leaves on individual plates, then distribute beet mixture. Break smoked trout fillets into rough 1-inch pieces and arrange over beets. Scatter a few radish slices over each salad. Add some chopped egg, if using. Sprinkle lightly with salt and drizzle with remaining vinaigrette.
• Top each salad with a generous teaspoon of trout roe and sprinkle with chives and dill sprigs.
