Beet & Coconut Curry / Brandade / Butter & Brioche



Blog Post & Recipe: Roasted Beet and Coconut Curry


I added a bit of raw beet to the curry along with the cooked beet for a bit more texture. I used my beet greens in a previous recipe, but if you have them, I highly recommend you include a small bunch near the end of the cooking time.

The recipe is linked to the last paragraph.


The acid in butter is less talked about than the fat, but it's no less important in terms of taste and the way it works with dough. In fact, a butter rich in lactic acids will have a very different taste from 'regular' butter, a taste which comes from 'culturing' or fermenting the cream before it is churned into butter.
