In this recipe yellow beetroot, but red or candy-cane (chioggia) beets work just as well. A delicious little side dish that’s perfect with fish or light meat. I’d say this recipe is great for 2 people as part of a meal.

Instructions

Step 1

Slice the beet for pickling thinly using a mandoline. Mix vinegar, sugar, and water until the sugar dissolves. Add the beet slices and let them sit until serving.

Step 2

Set the oven to 200°C (390°F). Cut the beets for baking into 4 wedges each and place in a baking dish. Drizzle with olive oil and salt. Bake for about 30 minutes, or until soft all the way through.

Step 3

For the tartar sauce: Finely chop the shallot, cornichons, and capers. Stir together with mayonnaise, crème fraîche, and both mustards. Finely chop the herbs and mix in. Season with salt and pepper.

Step 4

Spread the tartar sauce on a platter. Top with the baked beets, pickled beet, and capers. Shave parmesan over, drizzle with olive oil, and finish with fresh tarragon and cress.
