Preparation

  1. Heat oven to 400°F (205°C). Wrap beets in foil with a drizzle of oil and a pinch of salt; roast 35–45 minutes until knife-tender. Cool, peel and wedge.
  2. Blanch fennel wedges in salted water until just tender; drain well.
  3. Season tomato halves with oil, salt and pepper; roast cut-side up ~15 minutes.
  4. Brush eggplant with oil; sear cut-side down in a hot skillet ~5 minutes until browned and tender. Cut into wedges when cool.
  5. Blanch asparagus until crisp-tender; shock in ice water; drain and cut in pieces.
  6. Rewarm tomatoes and asparagus briefly if desired. Arrange all vegetables with fennel fronds, shave pecorino over top and finish with a light drizzle of white truffle olive oil. Season to taste.

🍷 Wine Pairing — Castello di Bossi Chianti Classico Riserva “Berardo” 2018

Sangiovese’s cherry and savory herbs match the roasted sweetness of the vegetables; moderate tannin plays well with pecorino and truffle notes.
