Ingredients

  • 3 medium candy stripe or chioggia beets
  • 1/4 cup plus 3 tsp olive oil, divided
  • 3/4 tsp sea salt, divided, plus more to taste
  • 1/2 cumin seeds
  • 1 clove garlic, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 medium shallot, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup whole milk Greek yogurt
  • 2 tbsp lime juice
  • 2oz fresh goats milk feta, crumbled (about 1/4 cup)
  • 1 tbsp sesame seeds, toasted

Preparation

  1. Preheat oven to 350F. Rub beets with 1 tsp oil and season with 1/4 tsp salt. Roast on a baking sheet until tender, about 50 – 60 minutes. Let cool, and then peel. Cut the beets into medium chunks, then set aside.
  2. Toast the cumin seeds in a dry skillet until fragrant, about 1 – 2 minutes, then grind into a powder, preferably with a mortar and pestle.
  3. In a small saute pan, heat 2 tsp oil over medium heat. Add garlic and shallot, and cook until tender, about 4 – 5 minutes.
  4. In a blender or food processor, combine the beets, 1/4 cup olive oil, 1/2 tsp salt, cumin, garlic, shallot, yogurt, and lime. Pulse until very smooth.
  5. Spoon into a serving bowl, and sprinkle with feta, sesame seeds, sea salt (to taste), and drizzle with olive oil.
