Beet and Herbed Goat Cheese Terrine
I have been eyeing recipes for Beet and Goat Cheese terrine for a while. I loved how colorful and bright they were. Being Ukrainian we already have a natural affinity for beets, so I knew I would love this recipe.
The goat cheese in this recipe is mixed with chives or green onion, thyme, garlic and other spices creates a nice fusion that just works!
Light peppery flavor of the rucola brings the whole thing nicely together while keeping the calorie count down. If you want something fancy to impress your guests, but not too difficult to make this recipe is for you!
