Pairing: Field to Table Red Blend

This simple starter bursts with sweetness and intense horseradish flavors. Plus, it pops off the plate with its naturally vibrant colors. Red blends are often paired with heavy red meat dishes. When we are looking for something seasonal and fresh, beets are a perfect alternative. The sweetness and earthiness of the beets is bold and allows the weight of our Field to Table Red Blend to match the flavors in the dish.  This fall & winter, bring this easy, fast, and uniquely delicious appetizer to your own home kitchen!

Roasted Beets

Ingredients

• 2 golden beets, peeled & cubed into 1-inch pieces
• 2 red beets, peeled & cubed into 1-inch pieces
• 4 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 1 teaspoon ground pepper

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 425°F.
2. Lay beets on a baking tray lined with parchment paper (keeping the different colored beets on separate sides to avoid dying the golden beets). Toss with olive oil, salt & ground pepper and roast in the oven for 25 minutes total, flipping after 15 minutes. The beets are done when they are lightly browned and fork tender.
3. Remove beets from the oven and let cool. Place 3-4 beets on each knotted bamboo toothpick, arrange on a platter, and set the horseradish dip in a small cup beside the beets.

Ingredients

• 1 cup sour cream
• 2 tablespoons horseradish
• 1 teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon ground pepper
