Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

For chips
2 medium beets with stems trimmed to 1 inch (1 lb total, including greens)
1 cup water
1 cup sugar
For curried sour cream
2 tablespoons finely chopped shallot
1 tablespoon olive oil
3/4 teaspoon Madras curry powder
3/4 cup sour cream
11/2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh chives
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Garnish: fresh chives
Special Equipment
a Japanese Benriner or other adjustable-blade slicer; a nonstick bakeware liner such as Silpat

Steps:

  • Make chips:
  • Peel beets with a vegetable peeler, then slice paper-thin with slicer, using stems as handles.
  • Bring water and sugar to a boil in a 3-quart heavy saucepan, stirring until sugar is dissolved. Add beets, then remove pan from heat and let stand15 minutes. Drain beets in a colander, discarding liquid, then let stand in colander 15 minutes more.
  • Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 225°F.
  • Line a shallow baking pan with nonstick liner, then arrange beet slices snugly in 1 layer (it's not necessary to use any partial or broken slices) and season with salt and pepper. Bake beets until dry, about 1 hour. Immediately transfer chips to a rack to cool (chips will crisp as they cool).
  • Make curried cream while beets bake:
  • Cook shallot in oil in a small skillet over moderate heat, stirring frequently, until golden, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in curry powder and cook, stirring, 1 minute.
  • Stir shallot into sour cream in a bowl along with chives, salt, and pepper. Serve curried cream with beet chips.

Tips:

  • Select Fresh Beets: Choose firm, deep-red beets that are small to medium in size. Avoid beets with blemishes or cuts.
  • Roast Beets Beforehand: Roasting the beets before adding them to the curry enhances their natural sweetness and earthy flavor.
  • Use a Variety of Spices: Experiment with different spices to create a unique flavor profile. Common spices used in curries include cumin, coriander, turmeric, and garam masala.
  • Balance the Heat: Adjust the amount of chili or cayenne pepper to your desired level of spiciness. Start with a small amount and gradually increase until you reach the desired heat level.
  • Simmer for Flavor: Simmer the curry for at least 15-20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and develop.
  • Serve with Accompaniments: Serve the curried beets with rice, quinoa, or naan bread. You can also add a dollop of yogurt or sour cream for a cooling touch.

Conclusion:

Curried beets are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as a main course or side dish.
