Method

Find a food processor. Put the walnuts in and blitz them thoroughly first. Add the beetroots (with all the juice from the pack) and the garlic and give it 4-5 cursory pulses. Add the dill stalks and blitz like a banshee. Add everything else and return to your cursory pulses until you have a nice smooth, bright pink smoosh. Taste it. If you want a bit more salt, add a few extra crumbles of feta.
