Minted Beetroot & Feta Dip
Preparation: 15 minutes – Serves 4
Ingredients:
250 g (9oz) pack cooked beetroot in natural juices
11/2 teaspoons harissa spice paste
1 teaspoon red wine vinegar
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
110g (4oz) feta cheese, drained, crumbled
3 stems fresh mint, leaves torn from stems
4 tablespoons 0% fat Greek yogurt
1/2 pomegranate, seeds removed
160 g pack of Manomasa White Cheddar Tortilla Chips
Method:
- Drain the beetroot juices into a processor or stick blender cup. Roughly chop the beetroot then blitz with the harissa, vinegar and a little salt and pepper until a coarse puree.
- Reserve one quarter of the feta and a few tiny mint leaves for garnish, strip the remaining leaves from the stems and add to the beetroot with the yogurt. Blend again until smooth.
- Spoon the dip into a bowl, garnish with the remaining feta, reserved mint leaves and pomegranate seeds. Serve with the tortilla chips for dunking.
