Cuisine: Dip
Serves: 8
Ingredients
  • 3 medium sized raw beetroot
  • 5 – 6 cloves of garlic
  • 250g of Greek yoghurt
  • 1 teaspoon of Olive oil (optional for roasting the garlic)
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 200 °C (400 °F).
  2. Wash the beetroot and trim the stems so that they are about 1 inch long (2.5 cm) and then wrap them together in foil.
  3. Trim off the tops of the garlic cloves and place them on a separate piece of foil.
  4. Drizzle the garlic with the olive oil (if using) and then wrap the garlic up in the foil making a small parcel.
  5. Place the foil wrapped beetroot and garlic onto a baking tray and place in preheated oven.
  6. Allow the garlic to roast for about 45 minutes or until it is tender and then remove it from the oven.
  7. Continue roasting the beetroot for a further 15 to 20 minutes or until the beetroot is soft when tested with a skewer.
  8. Allow the beetroot and the garlic to cool completely (I put mine in the fridge for a couple of hours while I was busy with other things).
  9. Trim off the stem end of the beetroot and then using paper towel to hold it, peel off the skin (you can use gloves if you want).
  10. Roughly chop the beetroot into quarters and place into a food processor fitted with an ‘s’ blade.
  11. Squeeze the roasted garlic from its outer layer and also add to the food processor.
  12. Add 250g of Greek yoghurt and blend until well combined, stopping a couple of times to scrape down the sides.
  13. For best flavour place in the refrigerator to chill for several hours (or overnight) before serving with crackers, crusty bread, or vegetable sticks.
Notes
* Preparation time includes some time for chilling before serving.
