Horseradish And Beet Tartare 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:

• Heat oven to 375 degrees. Place about 1 inch water in a small roasting pan or baking dish. Rub the beets with 1 tablespoon olive oil, then add them to the pan. Break up the sprigs of thyme and sprinkle them over the beets.
• Bake the beets until tender in the center when tested with a knife, about 1 hour. Remove from water, allow to cool, then peel and cut into large chunks.
• In the bowl of a food processor, combine the horseradish and vinegar. Process until finely chopped; do not puree. Add the beets and remaining olive oil. Pulse until beets are coarsely chopped; do not puree. Transfer to a bowl and add the salt, pepper and lemon juice to taste.
• Cover and refrigerate until chilled. Adjust seasonings as needed. If desired, serve with gefilte fish.

Steps:

• In a kettle cover the beets by 2 inches with cold water, bring the water to a boil, and simmer the beets, covered, for 20 to 30 minutes, or until they are tender. Drain the beets and under cold water slip off and discard the skins and stems. Cut the beets into wedges, in a bowl combine them well with the horseradish, the sugar, the vinegar, the water, and salt and pepper to taste, and let them marinate, covered and chilled, for at least 8 hours and up to 3 days.

Steps:

• In an electric blender, grind the beets; drain (you can save the juice for soup if you'd like).
• Add horseradish to beets and mix well; refrigerate until ready to serve.
