Beets With Horseradish And Pumpkin Seeds Recipes

BEETS WITH HORSERADISH AND PUMPKIN SEEDS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375 degrees. Place all the beets on a sheet of aluminum foil. Drizzle with the olive oil. Wrap together tightly and bake until tender, 65 to 70 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Peel off the skin. (You may need the help of a paring knife.)
• Slice the peeled beets 1/4-inch thick and arrange the slices on a serving tray. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• In a small bowl, combine the sour cream, horseradish, lemon juice, and 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Taste to adjust seasoning.
• In a small skillet, toast the pumpkin seeds over medium heat, shaking back and forth, until they emit a popcorn-like smell, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Spoon the sour cream dressing on top of the beets and sprinkle with toasted pumpkin seeds. Serve beets warm or chilled (see Tip).

ROASTED BEET SALAD WITH PUMPKIN SEEDS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450.
• Wash and place each beet in tin foil. Roast for 45 - 1 hour -- depending on size. (I pull my beets out when they are individually done, so that the smaller ones don't get overcooked) The beets taste better when they are undercooked.
• Let cool on the counter for 15 minutes. With gloves, peel the beets and cut into cubes.
• Stir honey with mustard in a medium bowl until combined; slowly whisk in lemon juice and salt. Add beets, gently toss to coat.
• If making in advance, bring to room temperature before serving.

FRESH BEET HORSERADISH

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.

BEETS WITH HORSERADISH

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.
