Beetroot is nice and hearty. I cheat and use the vacuum packed pre-cooked ones, in natural juice (don’t use ones in vinegar!). I put 10 -12 of the small ones in a pan with a tablespoon of finely chopped fresh dill, some chopped pickled cucumber or gherkins, half a chopped fresh cucumber, and some water, then bring to the boil and simmer for 20 minutes or so. It should be really thick, so don’t overdo the water. Liquidise, add salt to taste, then serve in deep bowls with chopped hard boiled eggs in and a swirl of Greek yogurt on top.
Scrumptious. I first had it in Lithuania and the above is my attempt to copy the recipe!
