Deep pink beetroot dip with uneven walnut pieces yoghurt streaks and a rough spoon mark
TooGut pickFlexible, practical, genuinely delicious.

Roasting concentrates beetroot and avoids the watery sweetness of boiling. Blend most of the walnuts into the base, then fold the rest through so every mouthful is slightly different.

One step at a time

Let’s cook.

Tick each step as you go. Built-in timers keep the important moments close.

Roast until wrinkled

Heat the oven to 210°C. Toss beetroot with 2 tablespoons oil, cumin and salt. Roast for 40 to 45 minutes until dark at the edges and tender.

Toast the walnuts

Add walnuts to a separate tray for the final 7 minutes. Cool, then reserve a rough handful.

Blend with restraint

Blend beetroot, remaining walnuts, yoghurt, lemon zest, lemon juice and remaining oil until creamy but not perfectly smooth.

Fold texture back in

Crush the reserved walnuts by hand and fold half through the dip with most of the dill.

Make the surface human

Spoon into a bowl, add one broken yoghurt streak and finish with remaining walnuts and dill.
