The easiest way to impress guests is with a homemade dip. Especially when it's as good as this one...

2 large beetroots, washed
1/2 cup (125ml) extra virgin olive oil
4 garlic cloves, finely chopped
4 long green shallots, thinly sliced
2 tsp Dijon mustard
1 tsp red wine vinegar
1 tsp toasted caraway seeds, roughly crushed
100g sour cream
2 tbs finely chopped dill
30g finely grated pecorino, to serve
Crackers & grissini, to serve

Method

1.

Preheat the oven to 200°C
2.

Wrap beetroots in a large piece of foil and place on a baking tray. Roast for 1 hour 30 minutes or until completely tender (test by piercing with the tip of a small sharp knife).
3.

Meanwhile, heat 1/4 cup (60ml) oil in a frypan over medium-low heat. Add garlic and shallot and cook, stirring regularly, for 6-8 minutes until very soft and fragrant but not coloured. Remove from the heat and cool to room temperature.
4.

Remove beetroots from oven and cool to room temperature. Wearing gloves, peel the beetroots and cut into large pieces. Place beetroot in a food processor and whiz until finely chopped. Add garlic and shallot to the food processor, followed by mustard and vinegar. Add remaining 1/4 cup (60ml) oil and caraway and whiz until combined. Fold through half of the sour cream and season to taste. Spread into a serving dish and ripple through remaining 50g sour cream. Top with dill and pecorino. Serve with crackers and grissini.
