Goat Cheese and Herb Filling

• Mince the parsley.
• Measure the ingredients and combine the goat cheese, parsley, thyme, and pepper in a bowl. Transfer the mixture to a pastry bag fitted with a small plain tip or sandwich bag with a small bit of the corner cut off.

Beet Ravioli
Mise en Place

• Peel the beets. Using a mandolin or sharp knife, thinly slice the peeled beets. Slice them as thin as possible.
• If time allows, place the beets in a small sandwich bag in the fridge overnight with 1/4 t salt. This will soften the beets and give them a more noodle-like texture.

Arrange half the beet slices on your work surface. Pipe a small amount of filling (about ½ teaspoon) onto the center of half of the beet slices leaving about 1/5-inch border around the edge.

Place another slice of beet on top and gently press down on the edges.

Garnish with thinly sliced beet greens tossed with a squeeze of lemon juice.
