It called for apple-mint crema, but there was no recipe for it. Do you recall what you used or how you made it?

Roast Beet and Pomegranate Soup with Spiced Apple-mint Crema

Recipe By : Executive Chef Craig Hetherington

Serving Size : 4 Preparation Time :0:00

Categories :

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

1 pound medium beets -- stems removed4 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon ground black pepper

1 cup thinly sliced yellow onion

1/4 cup carrot -- small dice

1/4 cup celery -- small dice

1 teaspoon minced garlic

6 cups chicken stock

1 ounce pomegranate juice -- (1 to 12)

1/2 cup pistachio nut -- toasted and crushed

Apple-Mint Crema

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

In a bowl, place the beets, 2 tablespoons of oil, salt and pepper, and toss to combine. Spread the beets on a baking sheet and roast until caramelized or tender in the middle, about 1 hour. Remove from the heat and let cool slightly. When cool enough to handle, peel beets and cut into ½-inch cubes.

In a medium, heavy pot, heat remaining olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the onions and sauté until tender, about 4 minutes. Add the carrot and celery, and sauté until tender, about 3 minutes. Add the garlic and sauté for 30 seconds. Add the roast beets, pomegranate juice and stock. Bring the soup to a boil and reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 20 minutes. Turn off the heat and let cool slightly.

With a hand immersion blender, or in batches in a blender, puree the soup. Serve hot or refrigerate until cold, at least 2 hours and serve chilled.

Top either hot or chilled soup with the apple-mint crema and toasted pistachios.
