Elevate brunch with a quick 4-ingredient dip and blini topped with seafood and veggies for a sophisticated and delicious start to the day.
Ingredients:
  • 425g can beetroot slices, drained
  • 20.00 ml finely chopped fresh dill
  • 2.50 gm ground cumin
  • 90g (1⁄3 cup) natural yoghurt
  • Olive oil, to drizzle
  • 185ml (3⁄4 cup) milk
  • 21.00 gm fresh lemon juice
  • 150g (1 cup) self-raising flour
  • 20.00 ml poppyseeds
  • 1 tsp finely grated lemon rind
  • 1 egg, lightly whisked
  • 20g piece cold butter
Instructions:
  • Combine beetroot, dill, cumin, and yogurt in a food processor. Season with salt and pepper and blend until smooth. Transfer to a serving bowl, drizzle with a bit of oil, and chill in the fridge while preparing the blini.
  • In a jug, curdle milk and lemon juice for 2-3 minutes. In a bowl, mix flour, poppyseeds, and lemon rind. Create a well in the center and add milk mixture and egg. Gently stir until just combined, being careful not to overbeat.
  • 1. Preheat a large frying pan over medium heat and wipe the base with butter using a paper towel. 2. Spoon tablespoonfuls of mixture into the pan and cook for 1 minute until golden underneath. 3. Flip and cook for another minute. 4. Transfer the blini to a wire rack to cool. 5. Repeat the process with the remaining mixture to yield about 20 blini in total.
