While we did enjoy this, I am not sure that the cinnamon flavor "went" with this dish. But I usually am not too fond of savory and sweet mixed together. I cut the recipe in half and the fresh dill and parmesan were very nice. I also used 2 cloves of garlic. Thanks for posting. Made for ZWT 6, Zingo.

Wow is this pink! The sauce reminded me a lot of a horseradish cream we eat with beef sometimes. There is a lot of intense flavor in this dish. Interesting dish, if you are a beet lover you should give it a try!

An interesting recipe in that I like beets & dill, while my other half likes horseradish & parmesan, "& so betwinkst the 2 of us, we licked the platter clean" so to speak! I thought this recipe a great new way to dress up beets & will definitely be making it again! Thanks for sharing it! [Made & reviewed during the ZINGO part of ZWT6]
