Beet Tartare
Yield 2 cups
Ingredients
- 11⁄2 pounds beets
- 1 by 1⁄2-inch piece horseradish,
- peeled and chopped
- 1 tablespoon cider vinegar
- 1 small shallot, coarsely chopped
- 2 tablespoons coarsely chopped
- dill pickle
- 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons minced fresh dill
- 1⁄4 teaspoon salt
- Freshly ground pepper to taste
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the beets and cook until tender, 30 to 45 minutes, depending on their size and age. Drain, peel, and chop coarsely.
- In a mini food processor or spice grinder, whir the horseradish with the cider vinegar until it is grated.
- Place the beets in the bowl of a food processor. Add the grated horseradish mixture along with the shallot and pickle and process until finely chopped. Be careful not to make a puree— the tartare should be minced, with some texture.
- Transfer the beets to a bowl and stir in the mayonnaise, dill, and salt. Season with pepper to taste. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.
