Boil the beets for 18 minutes, cool them, and grate finely.
Drain the excess juice from the grated beets to keep the meze thick.
Add the hardaliye and olive oil and work them evenly into the beets.
Stir in the dill, rest the meze for 10 minutes, and serve cold.
💡 Tip: Cooling the beets completely before mixing keeps the meze color brighter.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Spoon into a chilled meze bowl, gloss the beet surface with olive oil, and finish with red pepper flakes.
