Ingredients
Method
WATCH the chefs at Morito prepare their incredible Beetroot Borani!
Wash the beetroot but don’t peel it, then put in a pan, cover with water and bring to the boil. Cook for about 40 minutes or until tender, topping up the water if necessary. The beetroot is ready when a sharp knife goes through easily. Drain and leave to cool. Peel the beetroot and blend in a food processor. You want some texture in the purée, so don’t over-blend. Transfer to a bowl, add the garlic, olive oil, yoghurt, dill, vinegar and a pinch of salt and mix well. Check the seasoning and spread the purée on a plate. Sprinkle with the feta, walnuts, black onion seeds and extra sprigs of dill
and drizzle with a little olive oil. Serve with Flatbread or pitta.
