NOPA!

mmm.. Nopa in SF has a really good appetizer thats simple and probably not that hard to duplicate at home. Warm goat cheese and beet salad is my favorite appetizer at Nopa. It stayed warm the whole time too! We actually were eating it really fast so it seemed like it was constantly warm. I highly recommend trying this dish (and the lasagna!). If you have never eaten at Nopa here is a tip- call and make reservations a week ahead. We came here on a Friday night at 6 when they opened and were bombarded by people coming off work getting a drink from their fabulous drink menu which reminds me, do not order a dirty martini from Nopa. No bueno.
