Beetroot, yoghurt, lemon and cumin seeds salad

28/7/2019

1 Comment

 
This gorgeous, jewel-toned salad features roasted beets tossed with a toasted cumin-infused olive oil, red onions, lemon, fresh dill and dollops of creamy tahini yoghurt, pretty and delicious!
 
For 4 people
 
Ingredients:
 
100g of fresh dill
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 red onion
1 tablespoon tahini
4 tablespoons of Greek yoghurt
1 teaspoon of lemon zest and all its juice
1 tablespoon of cumin seeds
4/5 beetroots ( if you use cooked beetroots, skip the first stages)
Salt and pepper

 
Method

  1. Preheat oven to 220.
  2. Wrap each beet individually in aluminium foil. Place on a baking sheet and roast for 30 to 60 minutes (time will vary depending on the size of your beets) until a knife inserted into the beet goes through smoothly.
  3. Let cool slightly, then, when cool enough to handle, rub the beets with paper towels to remove the skins (they should slide right off).
  4. Cut into slices or wedges, then place in a large mixing bowl to cool.
  5. Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a small frying pan set over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and cook for about 3 minutes or until fragrant and starting to pop.
  6. Pour warm oil over the beets. Add onion, lemon zests, lemon juice, and half of the dill and toss to combine. Season to taste with salt and pepper.  Transfer to a serving bowl or divide among plates.
  7. Mix together the yogurt and tahini. Dollop on top of beets in a few places and sprinkle with remaining dill.Serve at room temperature.
 
 
 
The beet mixture will keep, refrigerated in an airtight container, up to a day ahead of time. Top with yogurt and fresh dill just before serving.
You can use a small preserved lemon, very thinly sliced (seeds discarded) instead of zest.
The recipe comes from Ottolenghi SIMPLE, one or my favorite cookbook of the moment.

    I wish to share with you my  cuisine. For me cooking is cultivating an art as delicate 
    as it is succulent.
    It gives  l'amour de la vie, heals and softens the abrupt edges of life. 
    I love comments and feedback, and please, don't hesitate to share as well your best recipes with us, write them in Contact and it will be posted
