Beetroot and ricotta dip

You can make this using pre-cooked beetroot, but roasting your own makes this dip far better. Once the beetroot is roasted, making the rest of the dip is quick and easy. Serve with toasted pitta, breadsticks or crunchy veg. My favourite is leaves of chicory/endive as their bitterness works wonders with this slightly sweet creamy dip. (Picture on following page.)
