SMARTER TARTARE
Chef Emily Butcher of Nola
puts a new spin on classic French beef tartare . Adding pickled red beet and dill enhances the tangy sweetness of each mouthful and delivers additional toothsome texture .
LATKE LOVE
Oakwood Café ’ s hearty latkes are as
delicious on their own as layered with eggs for breakfast .
ORANGE YOU GLAD
Sweet orange segments ,
fennel and balsamic glaze spike beet fritters with exciting juicy notes at Prairie ’ s Edge .
WISE APPLES
Shawarma Khan ’ s beet and apple salad
is a must add to your order . The beet ’ s natural sweetness plays off tart green apple making this dish more than the sum of its parts . Icing sugar is the unexpected secret that sharpens the contrast in the red wine vinegar-based mixture .
FRIENDLY RED MEDLEY
Chef Lorna Murdoch of Fusion Grill celebrates the
freshness and flavour of underrated vegetables as her love language . Manitoba beets star in an exciting ensemble dish that expertly balances sweet , savoury and sour . A kicky blueberry peppercorn vinaigrette enlivens the saskatoon , cornmeal crouton , almond cheese mixture .
