Appetizers
This appetizer is made by mashing slowly roasted beets with garlic and lemon, then topping them with pomegranate seeds. It is a classic Azerbaijani dish that is both sugar-free and dairy-free. Roasting the beets slowly at a low temperature concentrates their natural sweetness.
Wash the beets and wrap them in aluminum foil. Roast in an oven preheated to 200°C / 390°F for 60 minutes, until tender when pierced with a fork.
Once the beets have cooled slightly after roasting, peel them and mash with a fork or in a blender.
Add the garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, and salt to the mashed beets and stir to combine.
Spread the mixture on a plate, sprinkle the pomegranate seeds and walnuts on top, and serve.
Wrap the beets in aluminum foil before roasting; otherwise, the skin will dry out and be harder to peel. This is made without added sugar, so people following a diabetes-friendly diet can enjoy it. Allergen: contains tree nuts (walnuts).
Ezmeyi hazırlarken sarımsağı biraz fazla koymuşum, tadı pancardan çok sarımsağa kaydı. Tarif dengeli diye anlatılıyor ama benim damak tadıma göre miktarı bir dahaki sefere yarıya indirmem gerekecek.
Pancarın kendi tatlılığı sarımsak ve limonla mükemmel dengelendi, nar taneleri de hem tada hem görünüşe harika bir tazelik kattı.
60 dakikalık fırınlama benim pancarlarım için yetmedi, çatalla batırdığımda hâlâ direnç vardı; 15 dakika daha eklemem gerekti. Büyük boy pancarlar için süreyi baştan uzun tutmak daha mantıklı olabilir.
