Celebrate Canada’s liquid gold with this Icewine Poached Chioggia Beet Tart recipe courtesy of Executive Chef Chris Smythe at Noble Restaurant.
Chioggia Beets are sweeter, milder and more peppery than the typical red beets, and pair very well together with the goat cheese and Icewine. Known for their vibrant deep pink and white stripes that resemble a candy cane when sliced, the Chioggia beet adds a beautiful pop of color to the tart.
