Beet-and-Tahini Dip image

We replaced chickpeas with beets in this colorful take on hummus -- they deliver a lighter dip with a similarly smooth texture.

Time 2h15m

Yield Makes 3 3/4 cups

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/4 pounds red or golden beets (about 4 medium)
Extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1/2 cup tahini
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon finely grated garlic (from 1 small clove)
Harissa oil, for serving (optional)
Flatbreads, for serving

Steps:

  • =Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Peel and chop beets into 1-inch pieces. Place on parchment-lined foil, drizzle with oil, and season with salt. Enclose, crimping ends of foil to form a packet. Roast until tender, about 1 hour, before unwrapping and letting cool completely.
  • Place cooled beets in a food processor with tahini, lemon juice, and garlic. Process to a coarse paste (about 1 minute), then slowly add 1/4 cup oil and process until smooth, another 2 minutes. Season generously with salt and pepper, transfer to a bowl, and let sit, covered, at least 30 minutes. Store in refrigerator up to 3 days.
  • Bring to room temperature, then serve, with a drizzle of harissa oil and pepper, and flatbreads on the side.

I'm not sure I would make this dip again. There are other recipes out there that I like better.

Overall, I thought this dip was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

This dip was a bit too runny for my liking. I added some more tahini to thicken it up.

I found this dip to be a bit bland. I added some salt and pepper to taste.

This dip is a bit too spicy for my taste. Next time I'll use less cayenne pepper.

I'm allergic to tahini, so I substituted Greek yogurt. It turned out great!
