Ingredients

  • 8 Beets peeled, spiralized using Blade C, noodles trimmed
  • 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
  • 2 Teaspoons Minced Garlic
  • 1/2 Red Onion finely chopped
  • 14 Dried Apricots small cubed
  • 1 Teaspoon Garam Masala
  • 1 Teaspoon Cumin
  • Salt + Pepper (to taste) to taste
  • 1/4 Teaspoon Red Pepper crushed
  • 2 Tablespoon Lemon Juice
  • 1/2 Lemon zest
  • 1 1/4 Ounce Can chickpeas rinsed, drained, patted dry
  • 1 1/4 Ounce Tomatoes diced no salt added
  • 1/3 Cup Fresh Cilantro

Instructions

  • Place the spiralized beets on a baking sheet.
  • Toss the beets in 1 tablespoon of olive oil and bake at 400 degrees for 10-15, or until the beets begin to soften. If you are using precooked beets you can skip this step.
  • In a medium pan, heat the rest of the olive oil.
  • Add the garlic and sauté, watching carefully to make sure it does not burn.
  • Add the onions, lemon juice, apricots, garam masala, red pepper flakes and salt/pepper to taste - cook until onions begin to lightly brown.
  • Add the chickpeas and tomatoes, bring the pan to a simmer for 5-7 minutes to reduce the sauce from the tomatoes.
  • Once the sauce has reduced, add the lemon zest and the cilantro.
  • Place the beet noodles on individual plates and add a few scoops of the sauté to the top. Serve with cilantro for an extra kick and enjoy!
