Beetroot Tarte Tatin with Goat's cheese cream

I am having a serious love affair at the moment. A love affair with the humble beetroot. This is an affair unlike any other. Quite intense, actually. I think about it all day and try to work it into every meal (mostly settling on having it simply roasted). And to think, as a child I absolutely hated it. But then, we didn’t have simple, whole beetroot in our house when I was young. We only had the bottled variety. Grated beetroot in a sweet, sour pickling liquid which looked almost black in the large bottles it came in. When spooned onto your plate it would bleed it’s purple liquor into everything surrounding it. Chicken, beans, salad and carrots were all given a psychedelic hue. I absolutely hated it.

But now I am obsessed with its earthy flavour and I don’t even mind the stain it leaves on my fingers after I’ve roughly pushed the soft, roasted skins off of the purple orbs. And in this tarte tatin, the beautiful beetroot comes alive. The obvious partner for beetroot is soft, tangy goat’s cheese and so, I mixed a fresh Chevin with a little Mascarpone to create a lovely, creamy accompaniment to the tart (similar to what I did for my Tomato Tarte Tatin).

    Made this for my family as a side dish to a hearty soup. Everyone was quick to have seconds! We’re not fans of goat cheese, so instead I used 2 heaping spoons of sour cream and 3oz cream cheese whipped. Wonderful recipe idea, thank you!

    Hi, I am making this for our early friends-Christmas! Is it possible to make this the previous night and then still serve it at room temperature? Will it be fine the next day? Or should I rather make it fresh on the day?

      I prefer it fresh on the day, puff pastry can be a little waxy when served room temperature or the next day.
