Method
- Step 1: If using fresh beetroot, wash it thoroughly, then boil until tender. This usually takes about 30-40 minutes. Once cooked, peel and let it cool before chopping into smaller pieces.
- Step 2: In your blender, combine the cooked beetroot, Saint-Môret cheese, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth. This should take about 1-2 minutes. Make sure to stop and scrape down the sides as needed to ensure everything is well combined.
- Step 3: After blending, taste your mixture. Adjust the seasoning by adding more salt, pepper, or lemon juice according to your preference.
- Step 4: Once satisfied with the taste, use a spatula to spoon the beetroot mixture into your serving glasses or verrines. Fill them up about three-quarters full to allow space for garnishing.
- Step 5: Cover the verrines with plastic wrap and place them in the refrigerator. Let them chill for at least 30 minutes.
- Step 6: While your verrines are chilling, finely chop the fresh chives. If you’re using nuts, toast them lightly in a dry pan until golden brown for added flavor.
- Step 7: Before serving, remove the verrines from the refrigerator. Garnish each with a sprinkle of finely chopped chives and your choice of toasted nuts.
