Fresh Beetroot, Parmesan and Cashew Dip

20/10/2015 by Gina Leave a Comment

This is an adapted version of a dip featured in Thermomix’s Festive Flavours Cookbook … a fabulous little cookbook!

It is a terrific dip that can be used in a variety of ways.

You can replace cashews with roasted walnuts or brazil nuts.

To lightly roast nuts, I follow Tenina’s (tenina.com) recommendation and place my nuts onto a baking tray in a cold oven, turn temperature to 200 degrees (fan forced) and toast for 10 minutes. This is usually enough to lightly toast whatever nuts you are using. Let cool before using. Toast for slightly longer if you prefer but watch that they don’t burn.

Dip is best made the day before so that the flavours can develop, but can be consumed on the day.  It keeps very well in the fridge for a few days.

Served as nibbles with labne and pesto
Served as dip with veggies
Served as spread with seeded GF bread
