Garlic, 2-3 cloves
Thin pink salt from the Himalayas, 1/2 teaspoon

Preparation

1. Place the beet cubes in an oven tray lined with oiled baking paper, season and bake at to 356°F (180°C) in a turbo program, until the cubes look ready when a fork is stuck in them.
2. Allow the cubes to cool slightly (amount after baking: about a cup and a half).
3. Transfer all the ingredients to the food processor until you get a spread with a slightly crumbly texture (do not process into a smooth spread). Fix flavors, mix, transfer to a dry jar, close with a lid and store in the refrigerator.
