Ingredients
1 1/2 pounds medium beets
2 teaspoons caraway seeds
1/3 cup minced red onion
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons horseradish, drained
2 anchovy fillets, finely chopped
1 tablespoon sherry vinegar
1 tablespoon finely chopped capers
Salt and freshly ground pepper
2 teaspoons minced chives
2 teaspoons minced parsley
1/2 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
Preparation
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Put the beets in a baking dish, cover with foil, and bake for about 1 hour, or until tender. When the beets are cool enough to handle, peel and coarsely grate them. In a small skillet, toast the caraway seeds over moderate heat for 1 minute. Transfer to a cutting board to cool, then finely chop. In a medium bowl, combine the red onion with the olive oil, horseradish, anchovies, vinegar, capers, and caraway seeds. Fold in the beets and season with salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour. Stir in the chives, parsley, and lemon juice, and serve.
