Hands-on time 30 min
Ingredients
- 2 large beetroot
- 2 parsnips
- 40g plain flour
- 1 free-range egg yolk
- 2-3 tbsp cold-pressed rapeseed oil
- Small bunch fresh dill
- 2 tbsp creamed horseradish
- 1 lemon
- 120g half-fat crème fraîche
- 200g sustainably sourced smoked salmon
To serve
- Watercress
Method
- Peel and grate the beetroot (see tip) and parsnips into a large bowl. Mix in the flour, egg yolk, some ground black pepper and a good pinch of salt. Shape into 4 flat, round rösti, squeezing them tightly so they hold their shape.
- Heat the oil in a large frying pan over a medium heat, then add the rösti and fry for 5-6 minutes. Lift one at the edge; if it’s golden underneath, use a large spatula to flip the rösti and cook for 5-6 minutes more.
- Meanwhile, for the dressing: squeeze the juice from ½ lemon; chop the dill and mix half with the horseradish, lemon juice and crème fraîche.
- Serve the rösti topped with the salmon and dressing, with watercress and lemon wedges on the side. Sprinkle with pepper and the remaining dill.
