Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Place the beets on a sheet tray and roast until fork tender, about an hour. Remove and let cool.

• Divide the arugula between 4 salad plates, spoon some of the beet-pear mixture onto the arugula and top with the chopped almonds and chives. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Place a rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 425 degree F.
• For the roasted beets: Place the beets in a sheet of foil and place another sheet on top and create a seal around the beet. Roast the beets on a baking sheet until tender, 45 minutes to 1 hour. Cool the beets in their foil packet for a few minutes, and then rub off the skins using a paring knife if needed. The beets need to still be a little warm to be able to remove the skins easily.
• While the beets are roasting, toast the almonds in a small skillet over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until golden brown. Remove and cool.
• For the vinaigrette: Make the vinaigrette by stirring together the vinegar, mustard, salt and sugar, and then slowly whisk in the olive oil until emulsified.
• Slice the cooled and peeled beets into 1/4-inch thick slices and add half the vinaigrette, tossing to coat completely. Toss the remaining vinaigrette with the salad greens.
• Quarter and core the pear and slice it into julienne strips, about 1/8-inch thick.
• Arrange the dressed greens, and beets on a platter and top with the pear, toasted nuts, and goat cheese.

Steps:

• In a saucepan simmer beets in water to cover by 1 inch, covered, 40 minutes or until tender. Drain beets and cool. Beets may be prepared up to this point 1 day ahead and chilled, covered.
• Peel beets and cut into 3/4-inch wedges. Peel and core pear and cut into 1/2-inch wedges. In a small saucepan heat jelly, lemon juice, and mustard over low heat, stirring, until blended and jelly is melted. In a bowl combine beets and pear with warm dressing, tossing to coat.
• Divide greens among 4 salad plates and spoon beet mixture over them. Sprinkle salads with chives.

Steps:

• Adjust oven rack to lower-middle position; heat oven to 350°F Wrap each beet in foil and roast until fork can be inserted and removed eith little resistence, 1 to 1 1/2 hours; unwrap beets. When cool enough to handle, peel and cut beets lengthwise into quarters; cut each quarter n half into wedges.
• Peel and core pears. Wrap in foil. Roast in oven for 1/2 - 3/4 hour, or until fork tender. When cool enough to handle, cut in slices.
• Whisk togehter oil, vinegar, salt and pepper ot taste in small bowl.
• Conbine beets, blue cheese, and watercress in large serving bowl. Add pears and vinaigrette; toss gently to combine. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Put the beets in a large pan of water (if you have a mix of colours, cook in separate pans as the colours will bleed). Bring the water to a boil, cover and leave to simmer - about 20-40 mins, depending on the size of the beets. Use a skewer or small sharp knife to check that they're tender in the centre (try not to poke too often or they'll bleed all their juices into the water).
• Drain the beets and leave to cool in a colander. When cool enough to handle, peel away the skins, root and stalks, then roughly chop or slice the beets.
• Put the chorizo in a cold frying pan and fry over a medium heat until crisp - you should collect lots of oil in the pan. Lift out the chorizo with a slotted spoon and keep warm. Tip in the almonds and fry quickly until just turning brown on the edges. Scoop out with a slotted spoon and place on kitchen paper to dry.
• Make the dressing by melting the membrillo in the pan with the chorizo oil, sherry vinegar and 1 tbsp lemon juice. Mix in the olive oil and season.
• Core and thinly slice the pear, toss with a little lemon juice to stop it browning, then arrange on a platter with the beets, chorizo and almonds. Toss together with the dressing, if you like, or serve the dressing on the side. Sprinkle over the parsley and manchego and serve immediately.
