THE IDEAL RECIPE FOR MINTED BEETROOT & FETA DIP

MINTED BEETROOT AND FETA DIP

 A easy, tasty and fresh dip! Serve this minted beetroot & feta dip with Manomasa, an exciting and versatile brand of premium tortillas with spirit

Offering a range of tortilla chips, “born in the backstreets of Mexico,” Manomasa pays tribute to the original tortilla chip – the totopo – using traditional Mexican techniques to create authentic tortillas, combined with exciting and original global flavours and ingredients.

If you have a food processor or stick blender this vibrant coloured dip can be blitzed together in minutes. Beetroot is packed with antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, fibre, energy boosting natural sugars and body building protein, no wonder it is regarded as a super food.

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.

Cook’s Tip

Not a fan of mint or feta then flavour the dip with a little horseradish cream and chopped chives

The use of Manomasa’s adventurous flavours including Chipotle and LimeWhite Cheddar & the brand new Tomatillo Salsa are ideal for making quick and easy canapés, and are destined to show off the host’s culinary skills this summer.  Manomasa is available from Ocado (RRP: £1.99 per 160g pack) www.manomasa.co.uk
