Açaí Puree with Beets and Parsnips – Main Course for the Christmas Menu

Posted by Zoë Portaels on

Açaí Purée with Beets and Parsnips

The main course of our Christmas menu is a colorful and festive dish that will warm everyone’s heart. The purée is made from beets, parsnips, and acai. The deep, earthy, and slightly bitter flavor of the beets is combined with the unique taste of the parsnips and the fresh, subtly sweet notes of the acai berries. It all comes together in perfect harmony. The salmon adds an extra touch of luxury, and the lamb’s lettuce, with its fresh green color, completes the beautiful presentation.

I created this dish in collaboration with Holy Berry.

The Recipe

Ingredients: ( serves 2)

Mashed Potatoes

Salmon

  • 2 x 120 g salmon fillets 
  • Salt and pepper
  • 1 tsp (dried) dill
  • Red Pepper Balls

Lamb's lettuce

  • 4 handfuls of lamb's lettuce
  • Fleur de sel
  • Olive oil

Preparation: (30 minutes)

  1. Put the acai pouches in the refrigerator 5 minutes beforehand to let them thaw a little. 
  2. Peel the parsnips and beets, and cut them into pieces about 2cm² in size.
  3. Steam the beets and parsnips until they're tender (and you can easily pierce them with a fork).
  4. Cook the salmon fillet in a pan. If it’s a skin-on fillet, cook it skin-side down first, then very briefly on the other side. If it’s skinless, cook the fillet briefly on both sides. 
  5. Season the salmon fillet with pepper and a little salt. Sprinkle the red pepper flakes and dill over it. 
  6. Place the steamed beets and parsnip cubes in a blender, along with the acai pouches, and blend until smooth. 
  7. Season with salt and pepper. 
  8. Wash the lamb's lettuce. 
  9. Arrange everything nicely on a plate.
  10. Season the lamb's lettuce with salt and pepper and drizzle with a little olive oil.

Enjoy your meal!
