ROASTED BEETS WITH HORSERADISH VINAIGRETTE AND MâCHE

Steps:

• To cook the beets, adjust the oven rack to the middle position and preheat the oven to 400°F.
• Place the beets in a baking dish large enough to fit them in a single layer. Drizzle the beets with the olive oil, season them with the salt and pepper, and toss to coat the beets with the seasonings. Cover the dish with foil and place it in the oven to cook the beets for about 1 hour (for medium-size beets), until they are easily pierced with a knife. Remove the beets from the oven, and remove the foil, being careful not to burn yourself from the steam that will rise. Set the beets aside until they are cool enough to touch. Rub the beets with a clean dishtowel to remove their skins and cut the beets into 1/2-inch-thick slices. Stack a few slices on top of each other and cut the slices into 1/2-inch batonettes, and then into 1/2-inch cubes. Transfer the cubed beets to a medium mixing bowl. (The beets can be prepared to this point up to one day in advance. Transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate until you're ready to serve them. Bring the beets to room temperature before serving.)
• To make the dressing, combine the vinegar, mustard, salt, and pepper, and whisk. Add the oil in a slow steady stream, whisking constantly to form an emulsion. Pour the dressing over the beets, and toss to coat them with the dressing. Add 2 tablespoons of the horseradish and toss again to distribute the horseradish. Taste for seasoning and add more salt, pepper, or horseradish, if desired. Transfer the beets to a serving platter and scatter the mâche leaves over the top, or use scissors to snip the chive in 1-inch pieces over the beets. Serve at room temperature.

ROASTED BEETS WITH HORSERADISH CRèME FRAîCHE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400°F.
• Cut off the beet greens, leaving 1/2 inch of the stems still attached. (You can save the leaves for sauteing later-they are delicious!) Clean the beets well, and toss them with 2 tablespoons olive oil and 1 teaspoon salt
• Place the beets in a roasting pan with a splash of water in the bottom. Cover the pan tightly with foil, and roast for about 40 minutes, until they're tender when pierced. (The roasting time will depend on the size and type of beet.) When the beets are done, carefully remove the foil. Let cool, and peel the beets by slipping off the skins with your fingers. Cut them into 1/2-inch-thick wedges.
• While the beets are in the oven, combine the diced shallot, both vinegars, 2 teaspoons lemon juice, and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a small bowl, and let sit 5 minutes. Whisk in the 1/2 cup olive oil. Taste for balance and seasoning.
• Whisk the crème fraîche and horseradish together in a small bowl. Stir in the heavy cream, remaining 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice, ⅛ teaspoon salt, and a pinch of pepper.
• Toss the beets and sliced shallots with the vinaigrette. (If you're using different-colored beets, dress each color in a separate bowl so the colors don't bleed.) Season with 1/4 teaspoon salt and a pinch of freshly ground black pepper, and toss well. Taste for balance and seasoning.

ROASTED BEETS WITH HORSERADISH CREAM

Steps:

• Cut the greens from the beets, leaving about 1 inch of the stems attached, and reserve the greens. Scrub the beets, wrap them tightly in 2 foil packages, and roast them on a baking sheet in the middle of a preheated 350°F. oven for 1 to 1 1/2 hours, or until they are tender. Unwrap the beets carefully, discarding any liquid that may have accumulated in the foil, and let them cool until they can be handled. Peel and halve the beets and cut them into 1/4-inch slices.
• In a small bowl stir together the crème fraîche, the horseradish to taste, the zest, and salt and pepper to taste. Wash well and drain the reserved greens, in a large skillet cook them with salt and pepper to taste in 1 tablespoon of the butter over moderately high heat, stirring, for 3 to 4 minutes, or until they are wilted, and transfer them to a platter. In the skillet cook the beets with salt and pepper to taste in the remaining 1 tablespoon butter over moderately high heat, stirring, for 2 to 3 minutes, or until they are hot, and spoon them over the greens. Top the beets with the horseradish cream and sprinkle the cream with the chives and salt and pepper to taste.

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.
