Boil the beets in their skins for 25 minutes, cool, and grate coarsely.
Loosen the dried yogurt with warm water and whisk for 1 minute so no graininess remains.
Add the garlic, olive oil, and salt to the dried yogurt sauce.
Mix the beets with the sauce, adding it gradually because the dried yogurt is dense.
Finish with walnuts and red pepper oil, then serve cold.
If the dried yogurt sauce stays thick, add a spoonful of beet juice so the texture does not split.
After spreading the borani on the plate, sprinkle with walnuts so the top of the grainy sauce looks lively.
💡 Tip: Cool the beets completely before mixing.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve cold with olive oil drizzled over the top.
