Linguine With Beets And Horseradish Food

LINGUINE WITH BEETS AND HORSERADISH

Steps:

• In a large saucepan of salted boiling water cook the linguine until it is al dente. While the linguine is cooking, in a heavy skillet cook the garlic in the butter over moderately low heat, stirring, until it is golden, add the beets, the cream, and the water, and simmer the mixture for 6 minutes, or until the beets are tender. Stir in the horseradish and salt and pepper to taste, drain the linguine well, and in a bowl toss it with the beet mixture. Divide the pasta between 2 plates and sprinkle it with the parsley.

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 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).

CHRAIN WITH BEETS (RED HORSERADISH)

Steps:

• Grate the beets into a bowl using the fine side of a hand grater (wear gloves or you'll have some real memories that will last for days).
• Finely grate the horseradish into the bowl (do not touch your face!).
• Add the vinegar, salt, and sugar, and taste for seasoning.
• Let stand at room temperature for 2 hours before serving.
• Store covered in the refrigerator; will keep for several weeks with same strength, and afterwards, the intensity will be reduced.

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.

BAKED BEETS WITH MUSTARD HORSERADISH DRESSING

Steps:

• Leave skins, root ends and a bit of the stems on the beets.
• (Do NOT wash them, or they will simply steam-clean in the packet.) Wrap beets in a single-layer of foil- make sure beets are all about the same size, or wrap same-size beets in separate packages and bake the larger ones a longer time.
• Bake in pre-heated 400*F/200*C oven for 1 to 2 hours, or until beets are very tender- test by piercing through foil with knife.
• Open foil packages.
• Let beets cool just until they can be handled, then PUT ON RUBBER GLOVES (thank you Kate for the reminder) and trim beets by slipping off their skins.
• Slice beets or cut into wedges.
• TO MAKE DRESSING:In a small bowl whisk together mustard, garlic, horseradish, vinegar and pepper.
• Add salt to taste.
• Drizzle dressing over sliced beets.
• Sprinkle with chives.
• Serve at room temperature.
• PS: As Kate from Katoomba recommended, have any leftovers the next day with goat's cheese ... or in my case a nice bit of Bleu crumbled over. Delicious!

HORSERADISH AND BEET TARTARE

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.

BEET HORSERADISH

Steps:

• Place the beet in a medium pot, cover with water and bring to a boil. Simmer until the beet is easily pierced with a fork, about 1 hour. Cool, peel, then coarsely grate into a large bowl. Peel the horseradish and grate using a fine grater or food processor. In a small bowl, stir together the horseradish, vinegar, sugar and salt, then pour this over the beets and mix well.

GARLICKY BEET SPREAD WITH YOGURT, DILL AND HORSERADISH

Steps:

• To roast beets, heat oven to 375 degrees. Place beets in a small baking dish and drizzle with olive oil. Add 3 tablespoons water to bottom of dish and cover tightly with foil. Bake until tender, about 1 to 1 1/2 hours, turning beets after 45 minutes. Let cool, then peel.
• Using a food processor, grind walnuts, garlic and salt until very finely ground. Scrape down sides of bowl. Add the peeled beets, oil, yogurt, lemon juice, dill and horseradish and pulse until relatively smooth. Taste for seasoning and add more lemon or salt, or both, if needed. Serve with latkes or fritters, or use as a dip for vegetables.
