Beets with Walnuts and Pomegranate (Vegan)

This is a very simple dish that tastes great and looks pretty two.  If you can find fresh pomegranates you can sprinkle a few seeds on top for an even prettier presentation




Ingredients

4 medium beets, roasted with skins removed

4 Tablespoons of Walnuts finely chopped

1 clove of garlic, pressed or minced

2 Tablespoons of Olive Oil

2 teaspoons of Pomegranate Molasses

Salt and Pepper to taste


Instructions

Dice the beets into a uniform shape and size (don't be too much of a perfectionist) and put aside

In a medium bowl mix the Garlic, Olive Oil and Molasses.  Whisk to blend.

Add the Beets to this bowl and toss to coat.

Add the chopped walnuts and lightly mix again.

Add your salt and pepper to taste

Garnish with Pomegranate Seeds


If you are unfamiliar with pomegranate syrup it is a sweet, semi thick syrup that can be found at middle eastern markets.  It is the main ingredient in one of my favorite Persian dishes Fesenjan.  I will make this dish up and post the recipe soon
