Ingredients

  • 1 pound beets (2-3 medium sized)
  • 2 tablespoons tahini paste
  • 1 clove garlic, crushed
  • juice from one lemon
  • 2-3 tablespoons EVOO
  • salt
  • pepper
  • pita bread, cut into wedges

Instructions

  1. Boil the beets (I usually do them like potatoes, if they're large- cut into chunks and boil until they can be easily stabbed with a fork). Drain off water, cool for a few minutes, then peel.
  2. Put the beet chunks in a food processor and pulse until you have a coarse puree. Drain off excess water.
  3. Add tahini, crushed garlic, lemon juice, one Tbsp of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine. Check flavors and adjust seasoning. Spread in a shallow bowl and drizzle with remaining oil. Enjoy!
