Beetroot puree

It's time for a new recipe. I thought it is finally time to publish the recipe for beetroot puree. It's a simple recipe and for this reason I've been wondering if I should share it with you or not. But most time the simple things are the best, so why not. And maybe not everyone knows the recipe of beetroot puree. I did not know it until a few years ago.

We need:

• 1 large beetroot or 2 smaller ones
• 2 cloves of garlic
• 140 g of butter
• 200 ml of cream
• 600 g of floury potatoes
• salt
• pepper

Preparation time: 60 minutes

Results: 4 servings

This is how we proceed:

1. Put potatoes in a pot of salt water and boil until they are soft. Pour into a sieve and allow cooling.
2. Peel the beetroot and the garlic. Melt 40 g butter in a saucepan then sauté garlic and beetroot for 2-3 minutes. Add 75 ml of cream, season with salt and pepper to taste and simmer for 15-20 minutes at moderate heat until the beetroot is very soft.
3. Mash the beetroot.
4. Heat remaining cream and remaining butter and add portions wise to the peeled potatoes and mash to a fine puree. Mix the beetroot puree with the mashed potatoes and season with salt and pepper.
