Roasted beetroot and macadamia spread

This simple spread tastes as beautiful as it looks. The macadamias impart a nutritious creaminess that is best enjoyed alongside crispy vegetables and crackers on a nibbles platter. Just remember to soak the macadamias the night before!

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup macadamias
  • 2 cups water
  • 2 beetroots medium sized
  • 1 tbsp oil
  • 1 brown onion medium sized, thinly sliced
  • 2 tbsp nutritional yeast flakes*
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice or to taste
  • 1 small clove garlic
  • 1/4 tsp salt or to taste

Instructions
 

  • Place the macadamias in a bowl and cover with water. Allow to stand for 7-12 hours. Rinse and drain in a colander and set aside.
  • Preheat oven to 180C. Wrap the beetroots individually in aluminium foil and bake for 30-40 minutes, until a skewer inserted in the middle meets with no resistance. Allow to cool slightly before peeling. Set aside.
  • Heat the oil in a heavy based frying pan over medium heat. Add the onion, reduce the heat and cook slowly, stirring occasionally for 7-10 minutes, until it is soft and slightly caramelised.
  • Combine the macadamias, onion and remaining ingredients in the bowl of a food processor or a blender and process until smooth. Season to taste with extra salt if desired.
  • Serve immediately or store in a clean jar in the fridge for up to a week.

Notes

*You can buy nutritional yeast flakes from health food stores or larger supermarkets
