Hello lovely foodies of the world of Steemit!
For the 3rd week of Steemit Iron Chef, I am sending my non-valid entry a little late this time! It's amazing how the one day I spent out for fishing made me get late on so many things actually! But I am happy that I am making it just on the deadline!
So without losing too much time, let me show you my creation based on the theme of the week : BEETROOT
*Beetroot Tzatziki and Carpaccio
To make this dish, i used the following :
- Baked beetroot cut in carpaccio, in cubes and in brunoise.
- Beetroot puree with orange blossom.
- Orange segments and finely cut orange peel.
- Hung yogurt.
- Mustard flowers and young leaves.
- Sliced white radish.
- Mint leaves.
- Red onion.
- Orange and honey dressing.
- Chopped garlic.
I made the tzatziki by mixing the brunoise-cut beetroot with chopped garlic, mint leaves, olive oil and seasoned with salt.
I also added little orange juice for the taste!
The small cubes of beetroot were marinated in the orange-honey dressing!
I started to plate the dish by putting the tzatziki in the middle!
Then I delicately put the beetroot carpaccio on top of the tzatziki!
The mustard leaves and white radish slices were then placed all around this lovely beetroot tzatziki and carpaccio!
And I completed the plate by adding the rest of the ingredients!
The last item added was the beetroot puree flavored with orange blossom!
Woo-hoo this is the proof photo my friends...I never forget this so important rule!Lol!
Serving this dish to any of your guest as starter will surely be a great hit!
The addition of honey and orange is here to hide the earthy taste of beetroot which many people don't like!
So here we are my dear friend, if I was eligible in this contest, this would have been my entry for week 3!
How do you find the dish?

Thanks so much for such a great compliment!
So pretty! I never eat carpaccio because I have a mental block about eating raw meat, no matter how they've been 'cooked' with a little acidity...
This one, I can eat though, because it's beetroot!! Save some for me =D
It does have a resemblance of raw meat though...soooo red!Lol!
I actually like raw fish in carpaccio, but hate meat one!
I'm sure you would have enjoyed this one, it was so refreshing!
hehe you must love fresh sashimi then! =D
Wow! What a gorgeous display of all things beet! Really beautiful plate @progressivechef. I'm always so impressed with your creativity and skillful plating!
Beets and mint do go together so well!
Woo-hoo! When @haphazard-hstead approves a dish ...it means it's good and a success! Thanks so much my friend!
You're welcome! I like almost all the food posts, lol. I like that anyone cares enough about the food they make or eat, to want to share it with other folks.
Beautiful dish Chef! That beetroot and orange blossom puree sounds incredible!
Thanks so much my friend! I have used beets and orange blossoms since long and they really go so well together!
