Roasted Beet Morganara

Yes, that's "Morganara" (from Morgantown) versus "Muhammara" (a Mediterranean dip made with peppers and walnuts), as I did not have the traditional ingredient-pomegranate molasses- and used local Morgantown beets.  The recipe was inspired by Fine Cooking Magazine.  I used honey and balsamic reduction in place of the pomegranate molasses.

Roasted Beet & Walnut Dip

Brush beets with olive oi.  Wrap in foil and roast in a 375 F. oven for 1 hour.
8 small beets, trimmed and washed

Peel.
 
Combine beets and remaining ingredients in a food processor bowl.  Pulse until finely chopped.
3 tablespoons olive oil
3/4 cup walnuts

I enjoyed a bowl for breakfast with multigrain bread, grapes and skim milk!

The beets were purchased at the Morgantown Farmers Market from Judy Stewart.   She always has a beautiful display and great prices!

Have a lovely day!
