GARLICKY BEET SPREAD WITH YOGURT, DILL AND HORSERADISH



Garlicky Beet Spread with Yogurt, Dill and Horseradish image

This recipe for an easy appetizer borrows from the Ashkenazi tradition, making it a perfect Hanukkah offering. Roasted beets, dill, walnuts and horseradish are whirred in a blender with yogurt, garlic and olive oil, coming together into a pungent magenta purée. It is thick enough to serve on latkes, and creamy enough to go it alone as a dip with vegetables. (The New York Times)

Categories     condiments, side dish

Time 20m

Yield 2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 medium beets, scrubbed and trimmed
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, more for beets

BEET GREENS, GREEN GARLIC AND BARLEY GRATIN



Beet Greens, Green Garlic and Barley Gratin image

I use a certain formula for Provençal gratins combining grains and vegetables. I cook the greens and garlic, and then toss them with a cup of cooked grains, three eggs, a half cup of milk and some Gruyère cheese. I happened to have purple barley in my freezer when trying out this recipe, but you can use any type of barley, brown rice or arborio rice.

Categories     dinner, weekday, casseroles, main course, side dish

Time 1h15m

Yield Serves four to six

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 generous bunch beet greens, stemmed and washed
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped
4 large cloves green garlic, peeled and sliced, or one small head that has not separated into cloves, chopped
Salt to taste
1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves or 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
3 eggs
1/2 cup 2 percent milk
Freshly ground pepper
1 cup cooked barley (regular pearled or purple), brown rice or arborio rice
1/2 cup grated Gruyère cheese (2 ounces)
2 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Oil a 2-quart gratin dish with olive oil. Blanch the beet greens for one minute in a large pot of generously salted boiling water, or steam over 1 inch of boiling water for two to five minutes until wilted and tender. Rinse with cold water, squeeze out water and chop medium-fine. Set aside.
  • Heat the oil over medium heat in a large, heavy skillet. Add the onion, and cook, stirring, until tender, about five minutes. Add the garlic and a generous pinch of salt. Continue to cook for another minute or two until the garlic is fragrant. Stir in the cooked greens and the thyme, and toss together. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Remove from the heat.
  • In a large bowl, beat together the eggs and milk. Add 1/2 teaspoon salt and freshly ground pepper to taste. Stir in the greens mixture, the barley or rice, and the cheeses. Mix together well. Scrape into the oiled baking dish.
  • Bake 35 to 40 minutes until sizzling and lightly browned on the top and sides. Remove from the heat, and allow to sit for at least 10 minutes before serving.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, tender beets: Look for beets that are smooth, firm, and have no blemishes. Avoid beets that are wilted, bruised, or have cracks.
  • Roast the beets: Roasting the beets intensifies their flavor and makes them easier to peel. To roast the beets, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss the beets with olive oil and salt, then wrap them in foil. Roast the beets for about 1 hour, or until they are tender when pierced with a fork.
  • Use a variety of herbs and spices: Garlic, thyme, rosemary, and cumin are all great choices for seasoning beets. You can also add a touch of sweetness with honey or maple syrup.
  • Don't overcook the beets: Beets are best when they are still slightly firm. Overcooking them will make them mushy.
  • Serve the beets warm or cold: Roasted beets can be served warm or cold. They are delicious on their own, or you can add them to salads, soups, or stews.

Conclusion:

Roasted beets are a delicious and versatile vegetable that can be enjoyed in many different ways. With their earthy flavor and vibrant color, beets are a great addition to any meal. Whether you are roasting them, pickling them, or adding them to a salad, beets are sure to please. So next time you are looking for a healthy and flavorful side dish, give roasted beets a try!
