This recipe sounded really interesting to me. I make a pretty mean Borscht so I just had to try this Borscht Lentil dip. Give it a shoot and I think you will like it!
Ingredients:
3/4 - Cup Cooked or Canned Lentils
2/3 - Cup Pickled Beets
1/4 - Cup Sour Cream
1 - Tbsp Olive Oil
1 - Tbsp Chopped Fresh Dill
1/2 - Tsp Salt
1/2 - Tsp Pepper
Directions:
Cook Lentils.
Add Lentils to Food Processor.
Add Sour Cream.
Blend.
Add the Beets.
And Dill.
Puree until smooth
Serve with some pretzel chips.
As a Ukrainian purist, what happens if you use baked or boiled beets rather than pickled?
ReplyDeleteI think baked beets would add a lot more inconsistencies in the colour and texture. Boiled would work but that adds a lot more prep time and I also think that you would need to add some additional dill as the pickled beets already bring some dill to the table.
