Beets and Horseradish Dip

From Chef's Consortium and Chef Ric Orlando, of New World Bistro Bar

http://www.newworldbistrobar.com/
1/2 pound of nice big red beets

1 cup, prepared horseradish

1 medium shallot, minced

3 tablespoons mild vinegar (local dill or tarragon vinegar, or cider vinegar, not balsamic)

1 teaspoons kosher salt

1 teaspoons tabasco

1/4 cup mayonnaise

2 cups Hudson Valley Fresh sour cream

Place the beets in a heavy pot and cover with water by at least three inches. Bring to a rolling boil. Cook for 45 minutes, adding more water if needed, until the beets are tender when pierced with a fork. Cool the beets by running under cold water. Drain. Using a heavy paper towel rub off the outer skin. Cut the stem and root ends off and dice the beets. Puree the beets in a food processor with the shallot until you have a smooth puree, scraping down sides as needed. In a large bowl fold in the prepared horseradish. Add the mayonnaise and sour cream. Season with tabasco, salt and pepper. Serve with crudites, pita, cold shrimp, or bread sticks
