Ingredients for Roasted Beets with Horseradish Crème Fraîche

• 4 bunches different-coloured beets

• 120ml plus 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

• 1 tablespoon diced shallot, plus 30g sliced shallots

• 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar

• 2 colheres de sopa de vinagre de vinho tinto

• 2 1/2 teaspoons lemon juice

• 120ml de crème fraîche

• 1 tablespoon prepared horseradish

• 60ml de creme de leite

• Sal kosher e pimenta-do-reino moída na hora

Pré-aqueça o forno a 204°C.

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 teaspoons salt in a small bowl, and let sit 5 minutes. Whisk in the 120ml olive oil. Taste for balance and seasoning.

Whisk the crème fraîche and horseradish together in a small bowl. Stir in the double cream, remaining 1/2 teaspoons lemon juice, 1/8 teaspoons salt, and a pinch of pepper.

Toss the beets and sliced shallots with the vinaigrette. (If you're using different-coloured beets, dress each colour in a separate bowl so the colours don't bleed.) Season with 1/4 teaspoons salt and a pinch of freshly ground black pepper, and toss well. Taste for balance and seasoning.
