Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

In a bowl, toss the beets with the oil. Place on a roasting pan and bake until cooked through but still firm, about 1 hour. Remove from the oven and cool. When cool enough to handle, peel and cut into 1/4-inch thick slices.

In a bowl, whisk together the shallots, red wine vinegar, vodka, olive oil, honey, salt, black pepper, and fresh dill. Add smoked sturgeon, apple, and beets and toss briefly just to combine. Serve on top of field greens.

This recipe yields 4 to 6 servings.
