FAQ ❓

How long can I keep the beet purée?

You can keep it in the refrigerator for 2 days in an airtight container.

Can I freeze this recipe?

Absolutely! Place the purée in an airtight container or freezer bag, and don't forget to add a dated label!

What can I use instead of parsley?

You can replace it with coriander or leave it out of the recipe.

What can I use instead of chives?

You can leave them out of the recipe if you don't like them.

Can I serve these verrines as an appetizer?

Absolutely! However, the "bodega" glasses we used hold about 20 cl, which may be a little large for an appetizer. So use smaller glasses.

How many verrines will I get with these quantities?

You'll get about 4 "bodega" glasses, each with a capacity of 20 cl.

What can I use instead of plain cream cheese?

You can use garlic-and-herb cream cheese instead. In that case, don't use the onion, parsley, or chives; simply blend the beets with the garlic-and-herb cream cheese.
