~ Roasted beetroot with dill cream
Some earthy roasted beetroot, a creamy dill dressing and a generous sprinkle of crunchy pistachios.
A beautiful addition to your lunch table or an easy side dish to add a little colour to your plate.
You’ll need:
For the roasted beetroot:
• 450 g raw beetroot
• 1 tbsp olive oil
For the dill cream:
• 130 g raw cashews, soaked in hot water for 20–30 minutes, then drained
• 10 g fresh dill fronds
• 1 small handful fresh parsley leaves
• 1 tbsp lemon juice
• ½ tsp white miso paste
• 1 tbsp nutritional yeast
• 1 tbsp capers, drained
• Water, as needed to blend
To finish:
• 1 large handful pistachios, roughly chopped
• Extra fresh dill or parsley (optional)
How to make ~
1. Preheat your oven to 200°C (180°C fan-forced).
2. Wash and trim the beetroot, then cut into wedges. Toss with olive oil and arrange on a lined baking tray.
3. Roast for 35–50 minutes, turning halfway, until tender and lightly caramelised. Cooking time will depend on the size of your wedges.
4. While the beetroot roasts, prepare the dill cream. Add the soaked cashews, dill, parsley, lemon juice, white miso, nutritional yeast and capers to a blender or food processor.
5. Add a small splash of water and blend until smooth and creamy, adding more water as needed to reach your desired consistency.
6. Spread the dill cream across a serving plate, arrange the warm roasted beetroot on top and finish with chopped pistachios and extra fresh herbs.
Beetroot brings naturally occurring plant compounds and fibre, while cashews and pistachios contribute healthy unsaturated fats. Fresh herbs and lemon add plenty of flavour, making this a delicious way to bring more variety to your meals.
