Ingredients:

1 bunch medium red Beets, rinsed and cut in half
2 Tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil
2 Sprigs Sage, lightly bruised
1/2 tsp each Salt & Pepper or more to taste
1/2 cup Ricotta, Whole Milk (preferred but not mandatory for creamier texture)
1 teaspoon Honey, Raw
1/4 teaspoon Black pepper, coarse ground
2 Tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1/4 teaspoon lemon juice
1 Tablespoon Chocolate Mint, chiffonade (tear into small pieces for a more rustic look)
1/2 each Lemon, zested
3 Tablespoons Toasted Pistachios
3 Tablespoons Pomegranate Seeds
1 Tablespoon Lemon juice
3 Tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1/4 Cup Salad Greens (baby greens, Mesclun, Baby Arugula)

METHOD:

Pre-heat Cinder grill to 300°F.
Wash beets thoroughly with cold water and place in a medium bowl.
Toss beets with Olive oil, sage, salt & pepper until combined.
Place beets in oven bag and fold over leaving folded closure on bottom when placed in cinder grill.
Close the lid and set a timer for 40 minutes.
While beets are cooking, combine ricotta, honey, pepper, olive oil and lemon juice in a mixing bowl with a whisk and stir vigorously until completely smooth (for smoother consistency, use a small food processor).
Fold in the mint and lemon zest and reserve in a bowl for serving.
Once beets are completed, let sit for 10 - 15 minutes to steam in the bag to carryover (this also allows for easy peeling with a paper towel).
Peel beets, cut them into 1 inch pieces and place in a mixing bowl.
Add the pistachios and pomegranate seeds to the bowl and season with lemon juice, olive oil, salt & pepper.
Add the salad greens to finish with extra olive oil and sea salt and serve with the Ricotta on the side or drizzled on top of the beets.
