Ingredients

2 beets, blanched briefly in boiling water, peeled and cut into 1/2” sticks

2 pears, just ripe, sliced into quarters lengthwise through the stem ends, core removed

2 leeks cleaned and trimmed.

2 tbsp olive oil

1 bottle or can of beer

1 cup balsamic vinegar

1/2 cup blue cheese, crumbled

Directions

Preheat grill to medium heat (about 350°F).

Wrap beet sticks in foil and roast on grill about 45 – 60 minutes or until tender. Set pouch aside.

While beets are cooking combine the beer and balsamic vinegar in a saucepan and bring to a gentle boil. Continue to simmer until liquid has reduced by about half and become syrupy. Set aside.

Liberally oil the grill with the 2 tbsp of olive oil. Place leeks on the grill for 3 – 4 minutes turning several times. Add the pears to the grill and continue grilling leeks and pears for 3 – 4 minutes, turning both several times, until tender and lightly charred. Slice the leeks into 1 inch chunks and place with beet sticks and pear pieces in a serving bowl.

Pour the reduced beer and balsamic dressing over and toss. Garnish with the crumbled blue cheese and serve immediately.
