//= get_the_date( 'dS F Y' ); ?>This Beetroot Borani recipe is far from boring; Borani is the name for the beetroot sauce, which is an Iranian yoghurt-based dip. Traditionally, this is a breakfast dish served with soft boiled eggs, but Just The Fox Kitchen have adapted it slightly to make a vibrant and delicious lunch or dinner meal.
Just The Fox Kitchen’s Beetroot Borani recipe can be easily adapted to suit your diet; you can add roasted chicken or turkey for extra protein, or you can use vegan feta and soya yoghurt to create a plant-based meal!
