Nut and beetroot snack in Georgian

An intriguing snack with an incredible taste range. I once baked a large beetroot in the oven to make a salad with garlic and mayonnaise, but there was no garlic in the kitchen, and it was already late in the evening. Cooking mayonnaise at home is not a problem, and it is perfectly replaced with sour cream, but no one has managed to replace garlic with anything yet, so I had to rummage in my memory for what else is cooked from baked beets. I couldn't find anything suitable in my memory, but in the notebook of the mobile phone I found a culinary recipe for a nut-beet snack in Georgian, once written down just in case and just as safely forgotten, told by one of my friends. It's good that the phone's memory is in some ways superior to human memory, at least in the ability not to forget anything recorded and to reproduce everything very accurately at any moment. Thanks to this, it was not necessary to do without snacks for dinner.

I peeled and crushed garlic in a garlic press, and then minced beets and nuts alternately. Rubbing nuts with garlic with a tablespoon, slowly poured in sunflower oil. After mixing this mixture with beetroot, sugar, salt and vinegar. I put the appetizer on plates.

Delicious! It went great with carrot and potato patties. The food is completely vegetarian, and most importantly - extremely tasty and extremely easy to prepare. This dish of Georgian cuisine can be eaten at any time of the year and time of day, it does not contain ingredients of animal origin, which is extremely important for vegetarians and people who observe religious fasts. When serving to a festive table, you can decorate with a piece of cilantro, and if there is no cilantro, parsley will be a very suitable substitute.
