Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).
Wrap the red beets individually in aluminum foil and roast them in the oven for 40-50 minutes or until tender. Remove from the oven and allow them to cool.
While the beets are roasting, trim the green beans and blanch them in boiling salted water for 2-3 minutes until bright green and crisp-tender. Drain and immediately plunge them into a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Pat them dry with a kitchen towel and finely chop.
Toast the walnuts in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3-5 minutes until fragrant. Remove from the skillet and let them cool before roughly chopping.
Peel the cooled beets by rubbing the skins off with your hands or using a paper towel. Finely dice the beets into small, uniform cubes and transfer them to a mixing bowl.
Finely mince the shallot and fresh dill, then add them to the mixing bowl with the diced beets.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper to make the dressing. Pour the dressing over the diced beets and mix well to combine.
Gently fold the chopped green beans and toasted walnuts into the dressed beets. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
To assemble the tartare, use a ring mold or cookie cutter to press the beet and green bean mixture onto individual serving plates, creating a round tartare shape.
Crumble the goat cheese on top of each tartare and garnish with additional dill if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Crumbled Goat Cheese Red Beet and Green Bean Tartare!
