Procedure:
Place the beets in a covered oven-proof pan with the thyme sprigs,
sprinkle with blended oil, salt & pepper.
Roast at 400º for approx 2 hours, until a knife easily
pierces center of beet. Cool uncovered.
When cool enough to handle with bare hands, rub off the skin
with a towel. Slice crosswise into ½" discs;
use round cookie-cutter to cut 2-3 small circles per disc.
Keeping beets separate by color, marinate finished circles with
shallots, zest, a drop each of EVOO and sherry vinegar.
Season with salt & pepper to taste.
