Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 7

8 medium beets
5 tablespoons unsalted butter
½ cup heavy whipping cream
1 teaspoon white sugar
2 teaspoons lemon juice
3 tablespoons prepared horseradish
salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Trim, wash, peel and dice the beets. Place in a medium saucepan with enough water to cover. Bring to boil, reduce heat and simmer until beets are tender. Drain.
  • Place beets in a blender or food processor. Add the butter, cream, sugar, lemon juice, horseradish and salt and pepper. Puree until smooth and strain puree through a sieve into saucepan.
  • Gently reheat over very low heat, stirring frequently to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pan. Spoon the puree onto serving plates and garnish with a sprig of dill and a few pink peppercorns.
