Superfood variation beetroot

---

The beet is related to the sugar beet and chard. In addition to the beet, there are many other colors, such as the yellow beet or the red and white beet. There are also small baby beets, but they are a bit more expensive. The beet is an absolute "trendy" vegetable and is also very healthy. In addition, you can make many different things from the beet such as juices, salads, purees or it is also perfect for pickling. As well as in our beet variation here is puree pickled and stewed beet again. In our case, different varieties were used and are guaranteed to be an "eye-catcher" on the plate. In addition, it is completely vegan and thus once again an ideal change.

Instructions

Preparation of beet puree:

Wash and chop the leeks. Peel the shallots and also chop them coarsely. Sauté shallot and leek in a little oil. Cut the cooked beet into small pieces and sauté them as well. Season with salt and pepper.

Now deglaze with white wine, add beet juice and simmer for another 20 minutes. Grate some fresh horseradish with a microplane and puree everything with a blender.

Preparation of beet salad:

Grate the cooked beet with a square grater on the coarse side. Wash the apple and grate it with a square grater as well. Mix both ingredients in a bowl. Chop the sunflower seeds and add them as well. Season salad with salt, pepper and marinate with a little vinegar and olive oil. Add a pinch of sugar.

Preparation pickled beet:

Boil the pickled beetroot stock with spices once. While it is boiling, cut the baby beet in different ways. For example, cut into quarters, finely sliced, cut into cubes or simply halved. Put cut vegetables into Rex jars and pour warm pickle stock over them. Let steep for at least 2 hours. The longer pickled, the more it takes on flavor.

Preparation beet boiled:

Boil the baby beet in water with a little salt and caraway seeds for about 30 minutes until soft (depends on the size of the beet). Check with a needle if it is soft. If it is, strain it. Then peel the beet and fry in a little oil, season with salt and pepper.

Now find a nice plate and arrange the different components.

Resumé

Also very nice plate due to the color play of the different beet. In addition, the beet is very healthy and an absolute "Inn vegetable". Prime example of a wonderful flexitarian dish and completely vegan.
