Ugly to divine

I cleared another vegetable bed for new plantings

and boiled up the beetroot I picked.

Is there a vegetable more messy and troublesome than beetroot?

And look how ugly it is!

But peel it, pop it in the food processor 

with some other ingredients 

and look at the gorgeous dip/spread it becomes.

I checked the web for recipes and all called for yoghurt.

There wasn't any in the fridge so I used some cream cheese,

garlic, lemon juice, and enough olive oil to make it work.

I didn't even add any spices or herbs...so the dip was garlicky

and full of that earthy flavour of beetroot.

Like I said,

D I V I N E!
