preparation
-
Peel the beetroot with a vegetable peeler and cut into very small cubes.
-
Cook the beetroot cubes in a pot of lightly salted water for about 10 minutes until they are soft but still have a bit of bite.
-
Meanwhile, wash the spring onions thoroughly and cut into fine rings. Chop two capers just as finely, removing the stalk. Peel the avocado and cut into fine cubes. Mix all three ingredients in a bowl.
-
Rinse cooked beetroot cubes in a sieve under running cold water until they are lukewarm or, at best, cold.
-
Add lemon juice, mustard, white wine vinegar, beetroot cubes, pepper and salt to the avocado, spring onion and caper mixture. Mix everything together well and portion into the middle of four plates.
-
Cut the garden cress with scissors and spread over the tartar. Halve the remaining capers and place in the middle of the tartar portions. Decorate with a little salt and freshly ground pepper and serve
