Baked Beets With Mustard Horseradish Dressing Recipes

BAKED BEETS WITH MUSTARD HORSERADISH DRESSING

Steps:

• Leave skins, root ends and a bit of the stems on the beets.
• (Do NOT wash them, or they will simply steam-clean in the packet.) Wrap beets in a single-layer of foil- make sure beets are all about the same size, or wrap same-size beets in separate packages and bake the larger ones a longer time.
• Bake in pre-heated 400*F/200*C oven for 1 to 2 hours, or until beets are very tender- test by piercing through foil with knife.
• Open foil packages.
• Let beets cool just until they can be handled, then PUT ON RUBBER GLOVES (thank you Kate for the reminder) and trim beets by slipping off their skins.
• Slice beets or cut into wedges.
• TO MAKE DRESSING:In a small bowl whisk together mustard, garlic, horseradish, vinegar and pepper.
• Add salt to taste.
• Drizzle dressing over sliced beets.
• Sprinkle with chives.
• Serve at room temperature.
• PS: As Kate from Katoomba recommended, have any leftovers the next day with goat's cheese ... or in my case a nice bit of Bleu crumbled over. Delicious!
