1 large Chiogga Beet and a 5 star dish!
Roasted the beet in a 400 degree oven for 40 minutes.  Didn't do the trick.  Finished 10 minutes in the microwave, covered with about 1/2 water.  Perfecto!
In a bowl, combine
bit of balsamic vinegar (about 1 Tbs I think)
Olive oil (3 Tbs?)
about 1/2 or more Tsp of caraway seeds
Slivered Green Onion tops.  about 1 Tbs or so to taste.
black pepper to season.

slice the beets (when cooled enough) into half moon shapes and add to the dressing.  Cover with some fresh grated Parmesan cheese.
Both loved it!
