Rub the beet in olive oil, then wrap it tightly in foil and transfer to a\u00a0\u00a0baking sheet and roast until completely tender when pierced with aknife, it takes about1 hour. Allow to stand at room temperature until cool enough to handle, 15 to 20 minutes. With a knife, rub the skin and peel it away with your fingers while it\u2019s a bit warm. It should peel away easily. Cut into chunks.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><strong>Roast the eggplants<\/strong>: place your eggplants on a large metal cookie tin. Don\u2019t prick the eggplants, and roast, making sure to turn them every now and then, untilthe eggplants are charred and considerably soft, just about 10-12 minutes. Remove from heat and wait for the eggplants to cool down. Peel the skin and let the eggplants rest in a strainer for 2 minutes to get rid of the excess fluids. Scoop out the big visible seeds to avoid any bitter flavor, since the bitter flavor comes from the seeds.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Blend all the ingredients together<\/strong>: Place the peeled eggplants in a blender or a food processor.

Try to use the best olive oil to drizzle over your dip.<\/li>\n<li>Roast the beetroot instead of boiling; roasting gives a sweeter, richer, and deeper flavor than boiling does.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Storage<\/strong>: Refrigerate for up to 3 days in an airtight container.<\/p>\n<p>Looking for more authentic Lebanese dips, we got you covered.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/hadiaslebanesecuisine.com\/blog\/?p=3950\"><u>Lebanese hummus<\/u><\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/hadiaslebanesecuisine.com\/blog\/?p=9368\"><u>Baba ghanoush<\/u><\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/hadiaslebanesecuisine.com\/blog\/?p=7752\"><u>Labneh with cherry tomatoes and dukkah<\/u><\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/hadiaslebanesecuisine.com\/blog\/?p=6133\"><u>Muhammara Spread<\/u><\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/hadiaslebanesecuisine.com\/blog\/?p=5748\">Raheb<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/hadiaslebanesecuisine.com\/blog\/?p=10598\"><u>Labneh<\/u><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you make our Beetroot and Eggplant Moutabal, kindly rate the recipe and leave a comment below.
