Beetroot purée

Side Serves 4 15 min

A purée thats sits happily alongside roast pheasant, pigeon, or any other main course that can withstand its rich earthy-sweet taste. It can also be spread on toast, or eaten as a dip in a mezze spread. A good twist is to add a tablespoonful of horseradish for more of a kick.

  • 225g floury potatoes, peeled and cooked
  • 85ml soured cream
  • 1 tbsp fresh dill, chopped, or 1 tsp dried

  • salt and pepper
