Gin-Infused Beets With Crème Fraîche and Rye Bread Crumbs
This gorgeous recipe offers an entirely new way to approach beets. Rather than steam them with water alone, you’ll add gin, juniper, and rosemary to the pot, which infuse each bite with delicious herbal flavor. A crunchy breadcrumb topping makes this dish restaurant worthy—the coriander-scented rye bread draws off the earthy notes while the butter cuts through any bitterness. Serve as an appetizer for vegetable lovers or alongside almost any protein—poultry, fish, or pork would all taste great with this dish. Shopping tip: Grocery stores vary on where they stock crème fraîche. Check both the dairy case and the specialty cheese aisle.Headnote by Lindsay Maitland Hunt
