Beetroot and mint dip

Cooking and Carafes

I've been wanting to make my own version of this for ages, without a doubt Co-op do the best one you can purchase in a supermarket but this is just as tasty and super easy to make. It was a hit with friends so I thought I should share the recipe!

Recipe

Servings: 4 - 6 people

Ingredients:

  • 70g beetroot

  • 200g cannellini beans

  • 150g natural yoghurt

  • 1tbsp horseradish (optional)

  • Small bunch of mint (add to taste)

Instructions:

  1. If you're using raw beetroot, simmer it for 45 minutes until soft, peel and dice. Alternatively use pre-cooked beetroot.
  2. Put your cannellini beans in a blender and blend so they form a chunky paste.
  3. Add the beetroot and yoghurt and blend until it has a smooth consistency.
  4. Add the mint and horseradish to taste and give a final blitz.
