Polenta Blini With Beet Dip - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1/2 cup self-rising flour
2/3 cup polenta
1 tsp caraway seeds
1 cup low-fat yogurt
3/4 cup skim milk
1 None egg, lightly beaten
1 lb baby beets, cooked
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tbsp prepared horseradish
2 tsp fresh chives, chopped
2 tbsp butter

Preparation

Combine flour, polenta and caraway seeds. Add 3/4 cup yogurt, milk and egg. Stir until smooth. Set batter aside for 10 mins, to thicken.
Meanwhile, process beets, remaining yogurt, garlic and horseradish until smooth. Season. Transfer to a serving bowl. Sprinkle with 1 tsp chives. Set aside.
Working in batches, melt butter in a nonstick frying pan over medium heat. Cook 4 blini (around 2 tsp batter each) for 1-2 mins per side, or until golden brown. Transfer to a wire rack to cool.
Serve blinis with beet dip and remaining chives.
