Beetroot Rosti With Green Yogurt Smoked Salmon Recipes

BEET ROSTI WITH ROSEMARY

Steps:

• Trim beets, and peel them as you would potatoes; grate them in food processor or by hand. Begin preheating 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat.
• Toss grated beets in bowl with rosemary, salt and pepper. Add about half the flour; toss well, add rest of flour, and toss again.
• Put butter in skillet; heat until it begins to turn nut-brown. Scrape beet mixture into skillet, and press with spatula to form a round. With medium to medium-high heat -- the pancake should gently sizzle -- cook, shaking pan occasionally, until bottom of cake is nicely crisp, 8 to 10 minutes. Slide cake onto a plate, top with another plate, invert the two plates, and return cake to pan. Keep cooking, adjusting heat if necessary, until other side is browned, another 10 minutes or so. Garnish, cut into wedges, and serve hot or at room temperature.

BEETROOT ROSTI WITH GREEN YOGURT & SMOKED SALMON

Steps:

• Toss the beetroot and potato with a large pinch of salt, tip into a colander in the sink, and leave to drain for 30 mins. Transfer to a clean tea towel and squeeze out any excess liquid. Heat half the oil in a frying pan and fry the onion for 5 mins. Add the grated veg and fry for 10 mins more until just soft. Remove from the heat. Cool slightly. Combine with 1 egg and the flour, season and form into eight patties.
• For the herb yogurt, tip everything into a food processor with a pinch of sea salt, and blitz until smooth.
• Heat the butter and remaining oil in a large non-stick frying pan over a medium heat, and fry the rosti for 4-5 mins on each side until crisp and cooked through. Put on a baking tray and keep warm in a low oven.
• Bring a pan of lightly salted water to a simmer with the vinegar. Stir to create a whirlpool. Crack 1 egg into a cup, wait until the whirlpool has almost subsided, then tip in the egg. Poach for 2-3 mins, remove with a slotted spoon and drain on kitchen paper. Repeat with the other eggs.
• Serve the rosti with the herb yogurt, poached eggs, smoked salmon and some extra dill.
