Cream Cheese Spread with Beetroot and Horseradish
I should start a regular feature here on Nami-Nami, called the “Beetroot Recipe of the Month” or “This Week’s Way with Beets” - as we do eat beetroot pretty much each week. It’s cheap, seasonal and actually much more versatile than one might think. This recipe is inspired by a cream cheese spread served in a lovely deli-café in Tallinn, called NOP. I’ve used it as a sandwich filling here, but it would also work as a dip for crudités or as a topping for a jacket potato.
Cream Cheese Spread with Beet and Horseradish
(Rukkileib peedi-mädarõika kreemiga)
Serves 4
75 g cooked or roasted beetroot
150 g cream cheese, at room temperature
1 heaped tsp creamed horseradish
1 Tbsp finely chopped fresh dill
salt
freshly ground black pepper
dark rye bread, to serve
Grate the beetroot finely. Add the cream cheese, horseradish and chopped dill and mix until thoroughly combined. Season with salt and pepper.
To serve with rye bread, spread about a tablespoon of the mixture on a slice of bread, then top with another bread slice and cut diagonally into two triangles.

Remember I promised to start a Beetroot Dish of the Month feature? Well, it’s time for this month’s beetroot recipe A very simple, yet delicious beetroot soup. The potato acts as a thickener, and the goat’s cheese gives the soup a wonderful silkiness and smoothness. As always, I LOVE...
A Dashing Coconut and Beetroot Soup
Don’t you just think that the colour of this soup is dashingly beautiful? I certainly do. The flavour’s wonderful as well, so I’m heartily recommending this. (As you can see, I’m still loving beets in 2010 - just like I did in 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2009. This...
My favourite beetroot soup, vegetarian borscht
October 2011 Here is one of my very favourite soups of all time, which I make about once a month (at least!). It’s a vegetarian version of the famous Russian-Ukrainian beet soup, borscht. My version is delicious and heartwarming - brilliant for cold autumn days and dark winter nights....
Cold Beetroot Soup (kind of Chlodnik or Холодник)
Although the tropical heat wave has given way to a beautiful Estonian summer (temperatures at around 25 C, with someshowers), it’s still warm here in Estonia. Perfect excuse for eating lots of cold summer soups. My cold soup repertoire isn’t huge, I must admit. I love Ximena’s gazpacho (and...
Avocado and Blue Cheese Dip Recipe
A super-quick last-minute dip idea that I make quite often. I love this one especially with nachos, though it also works well spread over crostini, especially those bite-sized onesd. However, I would only make it at the very last moment, as despite the addition of lime juice, this dip...
Crostini with Västerbotten cheese
Another little recipe using the wonderful Swedish Västerbotten cheese. The recipe is Swedish as well, from a relatively new food magazine Lantliv Mat & Vin that K. brings me back from Sweden every now and then. You should use whitefish roe or löjrom ideally. Unfortunately it’s difficult to track...
Cottage Cheese and Egg Salad
Egg Salad (called ‘munavõi‘ or ‘egg butter’ in Estonian) is a popular sandwich spread in Estonia. The traditional version contains just softened butter and boiled eggs, seasoned with salt. However, I’ve come to prefer this slightly lighter version over the last few years. In addition to the butter and...
Trina’s beetroot burgers
I’m not sure why I chose the beetroot burgers. It wasn’t as if there were beetroots rotting at the bottom of my veg box; I had to go out specially to buy them.And then I didn’t have the courage of my convictions: I felt embarrassed at serving beetroot burgers, and...
Beetroot Tart
Although it is widely available throughout the year, as are most root vegetables, beetroot (beets) becomes most relied upon in my kitchen when it is winter. Its earthy sweetness and intense crimson flesh give warmth to frosty days. Beetroot bolsters the winter frame of mind and pairs particularly well...
Caramelized Rye Bread Ice Cream (Condensed Milk Ice Cream)
Here’s a super-simple ice cream with an Estonian twist. The caramelized rye bread lends a lovely slightly gritty texture (and I mean it in a wholly positive way) to the otherwise super-creamy ice cream, as well as a slightly earthy-tangy flavour. The recipe works both with ice cream machine...
