Beetroot with mustard sorbet, L’Atelier de Joël / 01 Robuchon

Method

Beetroot tartare Take a ripe avocado and blend into a paste. Dice the cooked beetroot into small cubes along with the Granny Smith and Golden apples. In a separate bowl, incorporate the blended avocado with the diced beetroot and apples to create an equal mixture of ingredients. Plate in a circle on the plate and finish with a herb salad and drizzle the extra virgin olive oil on top of the tartare. I like to use Ingred ients tarragon, basil, dill and chives for a delicate, pretty yet punchy salad.
