Beetroot Dip / Beet Dip

"This was given to me by an Egyptian friend who said it's a family recipe. I like the fact it's doesn't contain dairy and nuts so it was perfect for Menu #24612 because we had a few guest who are lactose intolerant and have an allergic to nuts. You can chill the dip until it's needed. It will keep for two days in the refrigerator but the flavour will enhance"

  1. This was very yummy! Loved the use of the different spices and how easy and quick this healthy dip was to prepare.<br/>It was very garlicky, but we enjoyed that. Serving it with plain crackers or bread would probably be good for mellowing that out a bit, though if one prefers.<br/>My only change was to leave out the lemon juice as I cant have it.<br/>THANK YOU SO MUCH for sharing a keeper with us, chef floWer!<br/>Made and reviewed for Aussie/NZ Recipe Swap #54 July 2011.
     
  2. WOW! i used 2 REALLY big cloves of garlic & after sitting it was really garlicky. dd & I loved it, dh said it was too garlicky. i love the hint of cinnamon that comes through. we decided that this will be a part of our Halloween buffet! Between the garlic & the color, it's perfect! This is a wonderful recipe for many reasons - I will also be suggesting it to my mom for her heart patients. THANK YOU! made for Aussie swap 5/11.
     
  3. I am a cheat with this recipe, as I know it already - or a very close version from Northern Cyprus! So, I knew that I would love it before I even made it Rose! The spices are ESSENTIAL to the flavour and I also kept mine a little chunkier for texture, not so pureed as suggested. I used fresh beetroot that was already cooked and bunged in an extra clove of garlic as I love it with beetroot. Made for make my recipe in the OZ/NZ forum edition #9 and very much enjoyed thanks! FT:-)
     
  4. I liked this dip but my kids did not. I tried this with flat bread and it was ok.
     
  5. Delicious. I roasted the beets first (1 hour 15 minutes in a 350 oven), let them cool and slipped off the skins. Pureed in my Vitamixer - fluffy and beautiful texture and COLOUR!!! I only used one clove of garlic (very glad I did so, and I love garlic) and 1/8 tsp of the cinnamon, otherwise followed the recipe exactly. Perfect for vegan guests and pretty much everyone else too. Will def make this easy recipe again. Thank you!

Tweaks

  1. I used only one clove of garlic, added a can of cannellini beans and omitted the cinnamon.
