Roasted Golden Beet Pate

Hi everyone! I hope you had a great thanksgiving and Chanukah. Check out our photos here on facebook.

Now that Thanksgiving is over, it is time to get back on the health wagon, is it not? This is a tasty recipe I created and it’s also a lesson in technique.

Remember my beet dip? Well, this is pretty much the same as my beet dip except that the beets are roasted. Roasting them makes the beets lose their water and the final, pureed result is more like a pate or spread than a dip.

It is delicious and can be used as a sandwich spread as well a a dip.

Enjoy!
