Ingredients:

Serving

2 beets , blanched briefly in boiling water, peeled and cut into 1/2' sticks
2 pears, just ripe , sliced into quarters lengthwise through the stem ends, core removed
2 leeks cleaned and trimmed .
2 tbsp olive oil
1 bottle or can of beer
1 cup balsamic vinegar
1/2 cup blue cheese, crumbled

Directions:

Preheat grill to medium heat (about 350°F).
Wrap beet sticks in foil and roast on grill about 45 – 60 minutes or until tender. Set pouch aside.
While beets are cooking combine the beer and balsamic vinegar in a saucepan and bring to a gentle boil. Continue to simmer until liquid has reduced by about half and become syrupy. Set aside.
Liberally oil the grill with the 2 tbsp of olive oil. Place leeks on the grill for 3 – 4 minutes turning several times. Add the pears to the grill and continue grilling leeks and pears for 3 – 4 minutes, turning both several times, until tender and lightly charred.
