BEET SALAD WITH PUMPKIN SEEDS



Beet Salad With Pumpkin Seeds image

This version is nice - steaming is easier than roasting. I think I'll try this with thinly sliced raw beets - they are wonderful & not used as often. Found in the Seattle Times.

Time 1h15m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 lbs beets, fresh
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon honey
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons lemon juice, fresh
1 pinch salt
Baby Spinach (optional)
1/4 cup pumpkin seeds, toasted

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450.
  • Wash and place each beet in tin foil. Roast for 45 - 1 hour -- depending on size. (I pull my beets out when they are individually done, so that the smaller ones don't get overcooked) The beets taste better when they are undercooked.
  • Let cool on the counter for 15 minutes. With gloves, peel the beets and cut into cubes.
  • Stir honey with mustard in a medium bowl until combined; slowly whisk in lemon juice and salt. Add beets, gently toss to coat.
  • If making in advance, bring to room temperature before serving.

Yield Makes about 2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 medium (10 ounce) beets
One 4-ounce fresh horseradish, peeled
1/4 cup cider vinegar
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon sugar

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



Beets With Horseradish and Pumpkin Seeds image

Sweet beets meet zingy horseradish and crunchy pumpkin seeds in this dish that will enchant beet lovers and skeptics alike. Roasting the beets concentrates their flavor and makes them easier to peel, while pairing red beets with their yellow counterparts makes for a striking visual contrast. Feel free to use all red beets, or all golden beets, if that's what's available to you, and to substitute plain yogurt for the sour cream. If you can't find fresh, refrigerated prepared horseradish, horseradish cream also works beautifully. Make the most of the beet greens: Sauté them in olive oil and finish with a splash of balsamic vinegar for an excellent accompaniment to this dish.

Time 1h30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 small bunch red beets (about 1 pound), washed and leaves removed
1 small bunch golden beets (about 1 pound), washed and leaves removed
2 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and black pepper
1/2 cup sour cream
2 tablespoons prepared horseradish
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1/4 cup roasted 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).
