Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Appetizers

Time 1h30m

Yield Makes 1 1/4 cups dip

Number Of Ingredients 9

3/4 pound small beets
1 small garlic bulb, 1/4 inch sliced off top
2 tablespoons drained prepared horseradish
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon red-wine vinegar
1/4 cup whole almonds, toasted
1/8 teaspoon dried sage
coarse salt and ground pepper
3 pita breads (6-inch), lightly toasted, cut into 3/4-inch-wide strips

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Wrap beets and garlic separately in packets of foil. Place on a baking sheet. Bake garlic until soft, about 40 minutes; continue cooking beets until tender, about 20 minutes more. Cool in packets. With paper towels, rub off beet skins; transfer beets to a food processor.
  • Squeeze garlic from skin into processor. Add horseradish, oil, vinegar, almonds, and sage; pulse until combined. Season with salt and pepper. Serve with pita strips.

Tips:

  • For a creamier dip, use canned chickpeas instead of dried chickpeas. You can also use a food processor to blend the chickpeas until they are very smooth.
  • If you don't have almond butter, you can use another type of nut butter, such as peanut butter or cashew butter.
  • Add a squeeze of lemon juice to the dip for a bit of extra brightness and flavor.
  • Serve the dip with pita chips, vegetables, or crackers.
  • You can also use the dip as a sandwich spread or as a topping for salads and bowls.
