Steps:
- Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. If your beetroot comes with leafy tops, cut them down, making sure you leave about 3cm stalk intact. Leave the beets whole, then carefully wash and pat dry. Wrap individually in foil and roast until tender when pierced - about 1-2 hrs (depending on size). Cool in the foil before peeling. Can be done up to 2 days ahead.
- To make the sauce, heat a small frying pan, then toss in the apples with the sugar and 1 tbsp water. Cover and cook until the apples are soft and mushy. Remove from the heat, add the vinegar and blitz to a purée using a hand blender or food processor. Stir in the horseradish and soured cream and season with salt.
- To serve, cut the beetroot into wedges, place in a bowl and mix with the sauce. Serve on a bed of watercress.

ROASTED BEET SALAD WITH HORSERADISH CREAM DRESSING
This combination of sweet beets and hot horseradish is a mild, delicious taste treat and a great side dish with grilled meats. A twist on the presentation of the Eastern Europen dish called Tsvikly. From Food and Drink magazine. Hope you enjoy! *Note, please use a very hot, prepared horseradish sauce to offset the mildness of the cream. If you do not have hot horseradish, then please be prepared for a very mild flavoured dressing!

Steps:
- Cut the greens from the beets, leaving about 1 inch of the stems attached, and reserve the greens. Scrub the beets, wrap them tightly in 2 foil packages, and roast them on a baking sheet in the middle of a preheated 350°F. oven for 1 to 1 1/2 hours, or until they are tender. Unwrap the beets carefully, discarding any liquid that may have accumulated in the foil, and let them cool until they can be handled. Peel and halve the beets and cut them into 1/4-inch slices.
- In a small bowl stir together the crème fraîche, the horseradish to taste, the zest, and salt and pepper to taste. Wash well and drain the reserved greens, in a large skillet cook them with salt and pepper to taste in 1 tablespoon of the butter over moderately high heat, stirring, for 3 to 4 minutes, or until they are wilted, and transfer them to a platter. In the skillet cook the beets with salt and pepper to taste in the remaining 1 tablespoon butter over moderately high heat, stirring, for 2 to 3 minutes, or until they are hot, and spoon them over the greens. Top the beets with the horseradish cream and sprinkle the cream with the chives and salt and pepper to taste.
Tips:
- Choose small, tender beets. They will cook more evenly and quickly.
- Trim the beets, leaving about 1 inch of the stems and roots attached. This will help to prevent the beets from bleeding during cooking.
- Roast the beets in a single layer on a baking sheet. This will help them to cook evenly.
- Roast the beets until they are tender when pierced with a fork. This will take about 1 hour.
- Let the beets cool slightly before peeling and slicing them. This will make them easier to handle.
- Serve the beets immediately with watercress, horseradish apple sauce, and a drizzle of olive oil.
