Beet Tzatziki

10 ingredients
3 steps

Ingredients

  • 4 medium beets, roasted and grated
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 3 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 1/2 cups Suzme (recipe follows)
  • Sea salt and freshly ground pepper
  • 2 to 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley
  • 2 tablespoons coarsely chopped walnuts
  • 1 quart whole milk plain yogurt, not Greek style
  • 2 pieces of cheesecloth approximately 12 x 12 inches

Directions

  1. 1
    Place the yogurt in the center of the double layered cheesecloth. Standing over the sink, twist the muslin around the yogurt until you have a tight ball. Tie the top with some string and suspend the ball (I tie it to the tap) overnight. You will end up with a yogurt of a very thick consistency, which is known throughout the Eastern Mediterranean as suzme. You will have about 1 1/2 cups. Cover and refrigerate.
  2. 2
    Combine the beets, garlic, lemon juice and suzme, and season. Serve drizzled with the olive oil, and
  3. 3
    sprinkled with the parsley and walnuts.
