How to Make Beet Puree

  1. Heat the olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic and cook for 6-8 minutes, or until softened and golden brown.
  2. Reduce heat to low. Stir in the diced beets, red wine vinegar, and tomato paste.
  3. Cook gently for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the beets are tender and the mixture has thickened and caramelized slightly.
  4. (Optional) At this point, you can taste and adjust seasoning. If you prefer a chunkier puree, serve as is.
  5. If you prefer a smoother puree, carefully pour in the vegetable broth and heavy cream. Stir to combine.
  6. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Simmer for another 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  7. Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
