Background
At winter dinner parties these beetroot and cream cheese tartlets are always a success. They require no cooking and the recipe can be adjusted to any diet. It’s gluten-free but if you use plant-based cream cheese, it becomes vegan. You can use cooked beetroot, sold at most supermarkets, or raw beetroot which ill make the dish even more healthy.
Ingredients
- 150g low-fat cream cheese (or vegan)
- 1 medium raw or 3 large cooked beetroot
- 2 tsp of horseradish
- 1 tbs salad cress or watercress
- Salt and pepper
Instructions
- Wash and peel the raw beetroot, then roughly grate it. If you’re using cooked beetroot, slice them thinly into rings.
- Mix the cream cheese with pepper and 1 tsp horseradish. Taste it, adjust it to your liking.
- Oil the inside of a ring/mould, then layer the grated beetroot and with the cream cheese. Refrigerate for a couple of hours. Alternatively, layer the cooked beet rings with the cream cheese.
- Scatter some salad cress on top, then carefully remove the ring.
- Serve immediately.
