Beetroot & Quinoa Pot with Horseradish Dressing and Crispy Bacon

This dish is one of the savory porridge recipes. It’s made with quinoa, which is a different kind of porridge ingredient, but it works really well.

It is gluten-free, high in protein, and has a beautiful appearance.

We used beets in the recipe because they’re in season now, and I’ve been stocking up on fresh organic beets from the farmer’s market and some from my friend’s garden.

The recipe calls for both fresh beets and beet juice. You can make your own at home or buy it at the grocery store.

It also calls for cottage cheese. But you can use ricotta or goat cheese as a delicious alternative.

All the deep flavors we love from fall are still present in this perfect light late-summer dish.
