Mitzie Wilson's Beetroot Dip

Perfect for a picnic with panache - just remember to wear gloves when preparing so you don't stain your hands.

1. 1

   1.  Place the washed and trimmed beetroot in a roasting tin and cover with foil. Roast at 180 C fan/ gas 4 for 45 minutes to 1 hour until soft. Allow to cool completely, then peel off the skin (wear rubber gloves so you don't stain your hands).
   2.  Chop up the beetroot and place in a food processor with the lemon juice, yoghurt, cumin and cayenne. Add plenty of salt and black pepper, and whizz until smooth. Keep chilled in a container with a sealed lid.
   3.  Cut the ciabatta into thin slices and brush both sides of each with a little olive oil and rub each with a cut clove of garlic. Grill until golden and crisp. Cool and pack in a tin. They will keep crisp for 1 day.
