Beetroot tartare is a delicious starter which you could also serve as a vegetarian “steak” tartare. With apple, capers and sesame, it really is a taste sensation.

Make sure you chop the ingredients as finely as possible, as larger chunks will impact the texture and mouthfeel of the finished dish.

For a quick version, it is best to use vacuum-packed beetroot, as these are pre-cooked and ready to use. You can also use raw beetroot and boil it yourself, or roast it in the oven until soft.

Preparation – 15 minutes

Peel the shallot and chop it as finely as possible. Cut the cooked beetroot into small cubes.

Grate the lemon zest and squeeze the juice. Mix this, along with the shallot, into the beetroot.

Peel the apple, discard the core, and cut the fruit into small dice. Immediately mix this into the beetroot so the lemon juice will prevent the apple from discolouring.

Wash the rocket, if necessary, and remove any excess water with a salad spinner.

Finishing the beetroot tartare – 15 minutes

Finely chop 1 tablespoon of capers and mix this, along with 2 teaspoons of mustard and 2 teaspoons of toasted sesame oil, through the beetroot.

Finely chop the parsley and chives and mix them into 50g cream cheese and 50g Greek yoghurt. Season with 2 teaspoons of honey, and salt and pepper.

Season the beetroot with salt and pepper. Use a round cookie cutter or chef's ring to portion the beetroot mixture neatly between your serving plates.

Place a spoonful of the cream cheese mixture on top of each serving of beetroot, and scatter a few rocket leaves around the edge. Finish the beetroot tartare with a sprinkle of sesame seeds and chopped chives. Enjoy your meal!

Tips!

Which type of beetroot should I use to make beetroot tartare?

You can use pre-cooked beetroot, or use raw beetroots and boil or roast them until they have softened.

You can use other varieties of beetroot, such as Chioggia / candy stripe or yellow beetroot, if you wish.

Can I omit the sesame?

You can replace the sesame seeds and sesame oil with finely chopped walnuts and walnut oil if you wish, but this will change the flavour of the finished dish quite significantly. Sesame imparts a far more subtle flavour than walnut.
