• Peel the beets, quarter and add to the food processor.

RED AND YELLOW BEET HORSERADISH (FOR THE GEFILTE FISH)

Steps:

• Place the whole, skin on, beets in a pot and cover amply with water. Cook 1 hour until very tender. Test with a knife-it should pull out easily. Allow an hour for the beets to cool in the cooking liquid. This will give them the right consistency for the sauce. Cut away the very top of the beet and remove the skins. Place them in a food processor and puree as fine as possible. Strain though a coarse strainer into a mixing bowl. If you are using prepared horseradish, squeeze as much of the juice out as possible. (1 1/2 cups will give you 1 cup after squeezing; there is no need to squeeze the fresh.) Mix the horseradish with the beets and add the lemon water and season with pepper and salt, if needed. Allow at least 1 day for the flavors to meld.;

HORSERADISH AND BEET TARTARE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375 degrees. Place about 1 inch water in a small roasting pan or baking dish. Rub the beets with 1 tablespoon olive oil, then add them to the pan. Break up the sprigs of thyme and sprinkle them over the beets.
• Bake the beets until tender in the center when tested with a knife, about 1 hour. Remove from water, allow to cool, then peel and cut into large chunks.
• In the bowl of a food processor, combine the horseradish and vinegar. Process until finely chopped; do not puree. Add the beets and remaining olive oil. Pulse until beets are coarsely chopped; do not puree. Transfer to a bowl and add the salt, pepper and lemon juice to taste.
• Cover and refrigerate until chilled. Adjust seasonings as needed. If desired, serve with gefilte fish.
