Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350. Use a peeler to take 4 wide strips of zest off grapefruit and lemon. Set aside.

Place 2 pieces of foil, each about 12 in square, on a work surface. Place the red beets, 2 strips grapefruit zest, 2 strips lemon zest and 1/2 t olive oil in the center of one. Bring two opposite sides of foil together and fold over to secure. Roll up remaining two sides to seal and form a packet. Place the gold beets and remaining zest and olive oil in the other and fold the same. Place both packets on a baking sheet and roast 45 mins.

Remove baking sheet from oven and let rest 10 mins or until packets are cool enough to handle. Open and remove zest. Finely julienne one strip each roasted lemon zest and roasted grapefruit zest. Set aside.

In a med bowl, combine marmalade with zest. Add beets and toss to coat, then top with goat cheese and walnuts; serve immediately.
