Beetroot And Horseradish Dip Recipes

Steps:

• Scrub beets; trim stems to 1/2 inch. Place beets in a medium saucepan; add water to cover by 1 inch. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium high; cook at a gentle boil until beets are tender when pierced with a small, sharp knife, 30 to 40 minutes. Remove from heat, drain, and set beets aside until cool enough to handle.
• Meanwhile, grate horseradish on small holes of a box grater. Place in a small bowl; stir in vinegar, salt, and sugar.
• Peel beets; grate on small holes of box grater. Add to horseradish mixture; stir well to combine. Keep covered to preserve flavor, and refrigerate until needed.

Steps:

• Process in a food processor until smooth.
• Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.

Steps:

• To roast beets, heat oven to 375 degrees. Place beets in a small baking dish and drizzle with olive oil. Add 3 tablespoons water to bottom of dish and cover tightly with foil. Bake until tender, about 1 to 1 1/2 hours, turning beets after 45 minutes. Let cool, then peel.
• Using a food processor, grind walnuts, garlic and salt until very finely ground. Scrape down sides of bowl. Add the peeled beets, oil, yogurt, lemon juice, dill and horseradish and pulse until relatively smooth. Taste for seasoning and add more lemon or salt, or both, if needed. Serve with latkes or fritters, or use as a dip for vegetables.

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large pan and gently cook the onion and garlic for 10 mins until soft. Add the beetroot and vinegar to the pan and cook down until sticky. Take the pan off the heat, then stir in the crème fraîche. Blitz with a hand blender, or tip into a food processor and blitz to a purée. Stir in the grated horseradish and serve. The purée can be made up to a day ahead and heated in a pan or in the microwave.
