This recipe was extracted from Culinary jottings (1885) by A. R. Kenney-Herbert, page 88. The excerpt below is the record exactly as published.

This root, chiefly used cold as a salad by itself, or mixed with other vegetables in salad, is by no means to be despised when served hot with a nice poulette sauce. Beetroot is far better baked than boiled. After having thus cooked it, cut it into slices, season them with pepper, salt, chopped parsley, and cress, and give them a turn or two in a pan with a pat of butter and a few drops of vinegar. Dish up, and pour a poulette sauce over them

Cook this with the app: pantry check, scaling, and the assistant.
