Every year when I do it Christmas dinner I will of course start preparing well before Christmas. That means by the time it actually is Christmas, everything will be in the picture and tasted good! A beetroot dinner for me means unpacking. A minimum of four courses, and perhaps also an amuse-bouche and a cheese board afterwards… We will lose weight again in the new year with the well-known good intentions. This appetizer from beetroot tartare with mackerel fillet is nice and light. beetroot mackerel tartare recipe
And if you use those handy cooking rings, you can get a nice one by not choosing the largest one dish to make. This way you can enjoy a very extensive dinner, with many courses, without actually being full after the starter.
Beetroot tartare with mackerel fillet
Beets like in this one beetroot tartare with mackerel fillet are available all year round. This is because there are different types of cultivation. Very early, early, summer crop and autumn crop. As a result, you will always be able to buy them at the supermarket or at your greengrocer. The combination of the beets and the mackerel go very well together. It is a nice fatty fish that is very healthy for you.
The herbs/spices you see on the plate are Dukkah. I have written a blog about this before because you can easily make and save this yourself. A delicious mix that you can use with beetroot with mackerel and many other dishes, as decoration, to give flavor and as a dip with some olive oil and some good bread. Want the recipe for this dukkah? click here and have fun with it yourself. Do that well before the Christmas so you don't have to stress during the holidays!
Here you will find the complete recipe with all the ingredients you need. I hope you have fun preparing the dish below.
