Beet Romesco

What a scary dip, naturally coloured with roasted beets. Romesco is  a dip made with almonds and I decided to add beets to get the "bloody" colour for Halloween. Highly nutritious and it has a good amount of fiber and protein.

2 1/2 cup cooked, peeled, chopped beets (boiled or roasted in their jackets)

1 cup toasted almonds

1 clove garlic, peeled

2 tbsp red wine vinegar

pinch of chili flakes

1 1/2 tsp salt

1/2 cup parsley

3/4 cup extra virgin olive oil

1/4 cup water

 

2-3 blackberries

white sesame seeds

 

Serving suggestion:

various veggie sticks, toasted bread cutouts or breadsticks

 

 

Blend all ingredients in a food processor until smooth. Using a spatula scoop into container and refrigerate.

Can be made up to 3 days in advance.

 

Serving Suggestion: place desired amount into serving dish. Surround with dipping vegetables or bread.  Cut blackberries into small pieces to resemble bugs/ants and sprinkle lightly with sesame seeds.

 

Enjoy with love
