Slice the beets in half widthwise. Place each half onto one side of the plate wider side up.

Shape 6 quenelles using 2 teaspoons then place each quenelle onto each beet.

Spoon a few tablespoons of the plum sauce around the beet and then place 2 of the warmed onions just off to one side. Garnish with some chervil.
