  • step 1
    ingredients 3 1/2 pounds beets including the greens
    instructions 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.
  • step 2
    ingredients 2/3 cup crème fraîche or sour cream
    2 to 3 tablespoons finely grated peeled fresh horseradish or drained; bottled
    instructions 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.
  • step 3
    ingredients 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
    instructions 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.
  • step 4
    ingredients 1/2 teaspoon freshly grated lemon zest
    1 tablespoon minced fresh chives
    instructions Top the beets with the horseradish cream and sprinkle the cream with the chives and salt and pepper to taste.
