A CLOSER TASTE
About the dish
Baked beetroot and cream cheese are the two main elements here. The beetroot leads, while the cheese adds a soft dairy note. It is a vegetable-led way to begin dinner, and you can vary the amount of beetroot and cream in each bite.
Flavour and serving
This combination keeps its main ingredients easy to distinguish. Taste some beetroot with the cream and some on its own to appreciate its own flavour.
The pumpkin salad has four listed flavour accents, whereas this starter centres on beetroot and cream. It is a way to explore the vegetable in a focused dish. For a shared tasting, order both and compare beetroot with cream cheese against beetroot with stracciatella, grapefruit and pumpkin. The same ingredient then appears in two distinct menu combinations.
What to try alongside
On a shared table, alternate the beetroot with pâté or a cheese selection. These are pairing suggestions; the other starters are ordered separately.
