Chef Adam's Yummy Beet Salad

If you liked my post on my ideas regarding the classic beet salad, then you're really going to like Chef Adam Ostrofsky's take on beets.  I had this salad at Gordon's Wines in Waltham as part of the Sommelier Smack-Down event that I attended last week.  I asked Chef Adam to share it with you on CQ, and he graciously agreed.  According to him, it's a simple salad to make and I think the work that goes into the mis-en-place is worthwhile when you consider how fabulous the end result is.  I can't wait to serve this at my next dinner party.

Here's Chef Adam's recipe:

Coriander Dusted Duck Breast with Fried Gnocchi

If you know me, you know about my obsession for eating and cooking poultry.  Chicken is a staple here at The Majestic because it is so cheap and versatile, but occasionally, I also like to cook duck, turkey, or Cornish hens as well.  Inevitably, they end up being some of my favorite creations that I prefer over beef, pork, fish, or shellfish hands down.
