Rófustappa - mashed beet

Ingredients

800 g beets
20 g margarine
1 pinch of salt
1 pinch of pepper
1 pinch of nutmeg
100 g cream cheese





Preparation

Peel the beets and cut them into small pieces.

Cover and simmer in boiling salted water until the beets are tender, about 20 minutes.

Drain the water and let the beets evaporate briefly.

Mash the beets and add the margarine, salt, pepper and nutmeg.

Also add the cream cheese (preferably sheep's cheese) and stir the whole thing again.

A nice vegetable side dish for meat or something similar, although the taste is very reminiscent of mashed potatoes.
