Time 1h15m

Yield About 4 cups.

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 pounds (about 3 large) beets, trimmed but not peeled
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
3 or 4 sprigs fresh thyme
4 ounces (about 1 cup) peeled and roughly chopped fresh horseradish root
2 tablespoons white vinegar
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 to 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

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.

I've never been a big fan of beets, but this tartare changed my mind. The horseradish mellows out the earthy flavor of the beets, and the capers add a nice briny touch. I'll definitely be making this again.
