Beet Pesto Spread

*GUEST ENTREE ENTRY*

Visit the Roasted Sweet Potato & Beet Salad blog entry for instructions on how to roast the beets for this...

3 red beets, roasted
6 cloves of garlic *recommend scaling this back to 3 cloves in the future*
3/4c walnuts, roasted (~7 minutes)
3/4c grana padana cheese, shredded
1/4c oil olive
zest of a lemon
juice of a lemon
1 tsp salt

Add the ingredients to a food processor and pulse several times until the ingredients are well combined. It should be a spreadable paste consistency (like hummus). Serve over crackers, toasted italian bread, on a sandwich, etc.




The texture of this was great... however, the garlic truly overpowered this spread. I would recommend using 1/2 the garlic or even 1 clove of garlic to 1 red beet. There was A LOT of this spread & unfortunately, it didn't all get used.
