Season beets with fresh ground pepper, sea salt and thyme.
Cover tightly with foil and bake until the beets are tender (60 min.).
Remove the foil, let cool, and then rub off the beet skins.
Quarter the beets and season lightly with salt and pepper and toss with some of the vinaigrette.
When ready to serve, divide the beets among eight chilled salad plates, add hazelnuts and drizzle with honey.
Garnish each plate with sprigs of purslane.
