Описание: Recipe of the week. Please subscribe!!!!
beets are great for your microbiome. a very grounding, blood-building winter root vegetable.
the spices are warming, they improve circulation, are anti-parasitic, and rich in bioflavonoids.
Recipe:
quantities for 1 batch. I did a double batch!
1 beet
150 grams of sunflower seeds.
I like a touch of ground flax seeds - it makes it stick together better.
Optional - hemp
5 grams of turmeric
5 grams of cumin
5 grams of Moroccan, Persian or Indian spice - this is ras el Hanout on amazon https://amzn.to/3SCMHHo
Garam masala can also work.
I used curry and persian spice both. It turned out delicious.
10 grams of summer savory
Here is a link to chubritsa - summer savory which is a must in any Bulgarian dish https://amzn.to/49j7G7p
I replaced it with sage and it is delicious but not at all the same.
Thyme could also work - taste test it.
5 grams of smoked spicy paprika
I USED SWEET PAPRIKA AS WELL

100 GRAMS of sun-dried tomatoes - pre-soak them

Salt if needed. Smoked salt will be good. I didnt need any salt as my tomatoes were VERY SALTY. Remember after you dehydrate it it will be saltier.
Process the beets in a food processor or a masticating juicer
Mix in the tomatoes and seeds. You can pre-grind half of the seeds.
Mix in the spices.
Form in sausages, patties or bites.
Dehydrate until you like the consistency.
I dehydrated them overnight and left them slightly "juicy" inside.
Refrigerate and eat as tapas.
This dish is full of flavor and nutrition. it is a great dish for a healthy microbiome.

If you do any recipe changes and additions please share your findings in the comments. I like to experiment with patties and dehydrated breads and sausages.
sometimes I use juice pulp, a variety of seeds, different herbs, spices. Carrots also can work added in. Oil can work.
Garlic, celery, etc.
The variations are endless but for the very traditional dried cured meat sausage I know from childhood this is the recipe that imitates it well.
This type of sausage is made in many countries and the variations are different in different regions. If you love a certain addition or spice please let me know.
