What’s in your beet purée?

I sweat the beetroot to start add maybe 100- 150ml of beetroot juice put a lid on the pan, medium heat until just cooked then while I'm blitzing add in some beetroot powder and butter.

Oh wow so you combine beetroot with beet juice and beet powder. I would not have thought of that. I bet it tastes amazing. Beets are great. It’s my newly found flavor booster, so when I saw your post I was like hey they used beets too.

Prior to that we used beets only for juicing and that was it. Never realized it could be used with meats and savory stuff. A friend made an El Salvadorian sandwich with it. Amazing sandwich. That’s how it all started.

Beetroot is a great ingredient for dishes, one of my goto comfort dishes is roasted beetroot risotto with goats cheese, again using the juice and powder makes it a really vibrant colour.

Oh my god that’s such a good idea. I love shiitake mushroom risotto cooked with homemade variety mushroom stock. I was just craving risotto. I’m going to give it a try. I have the powder beets. I have some beet roots I can juice and use the juice and the pulp to cook with. You have no idea how grateful I am right this moment. Haven’t had breakfast yet and the thought of a beet risotto gives me joy lol
