Roasted Beets and Bleu Cheese

This is one of those recipes that
you must try once in your life.
The roasted beets go very well
with the flavor of bleu cheese.

Ingredients:
3 pounds red beets, tops removed
1/3 cup rice wine vinegar
1/4 pound bleu cheese
1/2 cup chopped toasted walnuts
Chopped parsley, for garnish
Sea salt, for garnish

Directions:
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
Cut six 5 by 7-inch pieces of aluminum foil.
Put 2 to 3 beets in the center of each sheet,
making sure there's plenty of extra foil.
Bring the sides of the foil sheets together
and fold to form a package.
Put the packages in oven and roast
for about 1 1/2 hours.
Let the beets sit in the packages
until they are cool enough to handle.
Rub each beet to remove the skin.
Cut the peeled beets into rough dice
measuring about 1 1/2 inches square.
Transfer the beets to a mixing bowl
and toss with the rice vinegar.
Transfer beets to a container and chill.
Arrange beets on a serving platter.
Crumble the bleu cheese over the beets
and then top with the walnuts and parsley.
Garnish with sea salt and serve.
