Categories     appetizer

Time 2h

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 pound beets
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
6 sprigs fresh thyme
6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped
2 carrots, chopped
2 cloves garlic, chopped
6 cups chicken stock, heated
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon honey
1 Granny Smith apple, peeled
2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
Sour cream, for garnish

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Scrub the beets and put them on a large piece of aluminum foil; season with salt and pepper, add 3 thyme sprigs, and drizzle with 3 tablespoons olive oil. Bake until the beets are tender, about 1 hour. Set aside. When the beets are cool enough to handle but still warm, slip off their skins, and chop them into large chunks.
  • In a large heavy bottomed pot over medium heat, add the remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil. Put in the onion, carrots, garlic, and remaining 3 thyme sprigs and cook until softened and just starting to color, about 10 minutes. Add the chicken stock and simmer until the vegetables are tender, about 20 minutes. Remove the thyme sprigs. Put the chopped beets into a blender and add the cooked vegetables and most of the stock. Blend until smooth, add more stock if the puree is too thick. Add the vinegar and honey; season with salt and pepper. Blend again to incorporate flavors. Borscht can be served hot or cold.
  • To make the garnish, grate the apple on the large holes of a box grater and mix in the dill. Serve in bowls, garnished with a big dollop of sour cream and topped with the apple and dill mixture.

1 pound beets (about 3 small)
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
6 sprigs thyme
6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
4 1/2 cups chicken stock, plus more if needed
1 medium onion, chopped
2 carrots, chopped
2 cloves garlic, chopped
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon honey
1 Granny Smith apple
2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
Sour cream, for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400˚. Scrub the beets and put them on a large piece of foil; season with salt and pepper, add 3 thyme sprigs and drizzle with 3 tablespoons olive oil.

Put the chopped beets in a blender and add the cooked vegetables and stock. Blend until smooth, adding more stock if the puree is too thick. Add the vinegar and honey; season with salt and pepper. Blend again to incorporate the flavors. (The borscht can be served hot or cold; for a chilled soup, transfer to a bowl and refrigerate until cold.)
  • To make the garnish, grate the apple on the large holes of a box grater into a medium bowl; mix in the dill. Ladle the soup into bowls and swirl in a big dollop of sour cream. Top with the apple-dill mixture.

ROASTED BEET AND POTATO BORSCHT



Roasted Beet and Potato Borscht image

There are dozens of variations on borscht, the Eastern European beet soup. Some (like this one) are served hot, others chilled; some are pureed until smooth, others are chunky -- but all showcase the beauty of beets. Sour cream is the traditional topping; its tang tempers the sweetness of the beets. When peeling beets, it's a good idea to wear gloves to avoid staining your hands. This recipe appears in our cookbook "Martha Stewart's Vegetables" (Clarkson Potter).

Tips:

  • Use fresh, organic beets: Fresh beets have a more vibrant color and flavor than store-bought beets. Organic beets are also free of pesticides and herbicides.
  • Roast the beets before adding them to the soup: Roasting the beets concentrates their flavor and makes them sweeter.
  • Use a variety of vegetables in your soup: This will give your soup a more complex flavor and texture. Some good options include carrots, celery, onions, potatoes, and turnips.
  • Add a bit of酸味to your soup: This could come from lemon juice, vinegar, or yogurt. 酸味 will help to balance out the sweetness of the beets.
  • Serve your soup with a dollop of sour cream or yogurt: This will add a creamy richness to the soup.
