I have been tickled by beet converts, like Warren Haynes (phenomenal guitarist for the Allman Brothers and Government Mule), who never met a beet that he liked until he tasted this dish. This is a stunning recipe, and pretty simple considering the complex and mature flavors and texture. They are great for parties, as an appetizer or an entree and to introduce newcomers to raw and living food with pomp and pizzazz. Both the beet wrapper and the pine nut ricotta filling keep well in the fridge, so leftovers will never go to shame.
