You need:
- 2 small beetroots or a big one.
- a tin of sardines
- a pinch of paprika
- an onion (diced very thinly)
- two table spoons of sour cream
- a table spoon of chopped dill
- a pinch of salt
- a pinch of pepper
- juice of half a lemon
Start by peeling the beetroots and boiling them in water (for a good 5 minutes or until tender). When the beetroots are cooled down, chop them very thinly, i.e. once you think you are there, keep chopping for another couple of minutes. Then cut the sardines in really small chunks and add them to the beetroot. Add all the other ingredients and put them in into the fridge for at least 20 minutes so that it thickens up.
If you like dips with a kick you may want to add a teaspoon of horseradish sauce.
And you can do this all in a food processor but then you will loose the texture of the ingredients.
The mess that children can make with beetroot is indescribable, so best if they just look rather than help…
