Beetroot, Parmesan and Cashew dip

[cecilia]

Am finally making your famous dip today, Cookie.  Oops - should have read the recip yesterday - never mind.

Cookie, I was looking through my TMX cookbooks the other day and discovered this recipe in the Festive Cookbook but with weight measurements. I used that recipe as I needed to make another batch and the book was handy. Must say it wasn't quite the same. Much preferred the ones I'd made using your recipe.
Greyhoundmum, would be interested to hear back about how it freezes. We just keep it in the fridge and eat it up over the course of a week if it doesn't get eaten at the occasion.

Roxy, the recipe in Festive Flavours is Cookie's recipe - the same as this recipe.  Only difference is the 80g parmesan in the recipe book/1 cup in the recipe on the forum which may or may not be the same and therefore made a difference.

You have reminded me!!! I had forgotten I had put some in the freezer, will eat it out tomorrow and let you know!

defrosted and tasted just as nice second time around.

I'm glad that it freezes, thanks GHM. Although I won't have the excuse to eat it all up.

Cookie,my upholstery buddies loved your dip and I passed the recipe onto all of them.

Thank you CC.  I'm glad you enjoyed it. People are sometimes put off by the colour.

This certainly is a must try.  I have been into roasted beetroot but this could be my next BF.  Love this forum, am new to it so am exploring.

Jessie36 I am pleased that you are enjoying the forum. I think it is a friendly place to find new recipes, share thoughts and ask for help.
Thanks for the kind words.

Hi Cookie1 made the beetroot dip and a huge success, as it was for pink ribbon day the colour was just right for the occasion, and the taste to die for. Went down well. thank you.

Jessie36 you have just given me a great idea. We are having a biggest morning tea here in the caravan park on Sunday. I will take some of this dip along as well. Thanks.

I think 60-80 grams of Parmesan is fine. I found some pre-grated Parmesan in the fridge (my kids buy mysterious things...) and a cup was about 60g. A really nice dip and it makes quite a lot.  Nice to know it freezes well, a lot of dips don't.
