INSTRUCTIONS
Bake beets at 350 degrees for 45 minutes. Peel the roasted beets under
running water. Cut into 1/2-inch cubes and set aside.
Boil the lentils in plenty of unsalted water until tender but not mushy,
about 12 to 15 minutes. Drain in a colander over the sink. While still warm
pour the lentils into a mixing bowl and toss gently with the olive oil and
prune vinegar. Season with salt and lots of freshly-ground black pepper.
Add the beet cubes to the lentils, stir to mix well and divide the beet and
lentil mixture among 4 plates.
Toast or grill the bread slices until golden brown. Smear each slice of
bread with about 2 ounces of taleggio cheese, place on top of lentil beet
mixture and serve.
