Description

This beet yogurt has an amazing color with a wonderful taste. I like beet yogurt as a side or by cooking beets a little sweeter as a dessert. This is called 'Mast-o-laboo' in Persian cuisine.

Ingredients
  • 1 pinch white sugar, or to taste
  • 2 beets, peeled
  • 1 cup plain yogurt
  • 1 pinch salt
Directions
  1. 1. Bring a saucepan of water to a boil. Stir sugar into water to dissolve. Cook beets in boiling water until tender, about 45 minutes; drain and cool beets completely.
  2. 2. Cut cooled beets into 1/2-inch cubes. Measure 1/2 cup of beet cubes and reserve remainder for later use.
  3. 3. Stir beets into yogurt in a bowl; season with salt.
