Beets with Horseradish

June 14, 2011 by Lois Britton 6 Comments

It’s difficult to imagine that I seldom ate beets before moving to Poland.  Now, we have them all the time.  A friend has just suggested a new flavor combination – beets and horseradish.  It’s a traditional part of a Polish Easter breakfast, but I contend it’s suitable any time of year.  The flavors complement each other very well.

For each serving, you’ll need 1/2 cup shredded or julienned beets (canned or roasted); stir in a scant teaspoon of prepared horseradish (adjust according to your own taste.)  Serve at room temp or chilled.

    My parents made this all the time when I was growing up. I still remember my Dad taking the fresh horseradish outside to grate because it was so strong. My Mum used grated beets and lemon to season the beet horseradish mixture. I can buy it at the Deli here in Canada now and my teenaged daughter eats it with her eggs in the morning.

    I just roasted some beets for a beet and goat cheese salad (http://eliotseats.com/?p=1586) and have some leftovers. I will definitely try this. Thanks!

    This really sounds good–also quick and easy to fix. And I always thought the only way to eat beets was pickled.
