Best Beetroot Rye Tartines Recipes

HONEY ROAST BEETROOT & WENSLEYDALE TART TARTINE

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Toss the beetroot and onion with the oil, honey and vinegar, then season. Tip into a 20cm non-stick ovenproof frying pan. Cover with foil and roast in the oven for 45-50 mins until the beetroot is tender. Remove from the oven and scatter over the butter and thyme.
• Roll the pastry out on a lightly floured surface to the thickness of a £1 coin, then cut out a circle slightly larger than the frying pan, about 25cm (you can use a dinner plate as a guide). Lay the pastry over the beetroot mixture in the pan, and tuck it in around the edge using a cutlery knife or spatula. Bake for 50-60 mins, or until golden brown and puffed up.
• Run a knife around the edge of the pastry to loosen, then carefully invert onto a serving plate. Scatter over the pecans and cheese to finish.

BEET AND GOAT CHEESE TARTINES

Steps:

• Toss beets with balsamic vinegar. Toss frisée with oil, lemon juice, and salt and pepper to taste. Spread goat cheese on baguette, then make open-face sandwiches with toasted walnuts, beets, and frisée.

BEETROOT & RED ONION TARTE TATIN

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. In a bowl, toss the beetroot and onion in 2 tbsp of the oil, the vinegar and sugar. Add the star anise and season well. Heat the rest of the oil in a large, ovenproof non-stick frying pan, then nestle in the veg so that they cover the surface of the pan. Cover with foil and cook in the oven for 45 mins.
• On a well-floured surface, roll the pastry to a thickness of 0.5cm and cut out a circle the same size as your frying pan. Carefully take the pan out of the oven, remove the foil and wiggle the beets and onion around in the pan to make a compact layer. Put the pastry on top, tucking it in all around the edges, then return the pan to the oven and bake for 35 mins or until the pastry has puffed up and is a deep golden brown.
• Slide a palate knife around the edge of the tart, then put a plate on top of the pastry, serving side down. Flip the pan over to turn the tart out onto the plate - be careful not to burn yourself with the handle. Top with the orange zest and a sprinkle of sea salt, then serve with a peppery salad on the side.
