Method

  1. In a dry frying pan, toast the walnut pieces over a low heat for 6-8 mins until lightly golden. Chop and set aside.
  2. Add the beetroot to a food processor and pulse until small chunks form. Add the yogurt, garlic, vinegar, sugar, most of the dill, a pinch of salt and a grind of black pepper. Blend again to a rough purée.
  3. Spoon the beetroot mix into a bowl, scatter over the walnuts and the remaining dill and serve alongside the carrots and cucumber for dipping.
