This recipe is great for veggies and the seeds add some nice crunch to the dish. However, if you are looking for a meaty twist we'd recommend some crispy pancetta or streaky bacon. The crepes take a matter of minutes to prepare making them perfect for a work at home lunch or even a light dinner in the warmer months.

Method
Use a kitchen towel to absorb excess moisture from the surface of the beetroot. Use a stick blender to blend the beetroot until smooth and then season with salt and pepper to taste.
Preheat the oven to 180C/Gas 4. Roast the seeds on a baking tray for 6 – 8 minutes. Sprinkle over a little salt and set aside. For the pancake: In a blender mix together the egg, the flour, milk and spinach with 1tsp of salt until completely smooth.
Place a large non stick frying pan on a medium heat with a little oil and then spoon on a thin layer of batter, roughly 2 tbsp, tilting the pan to move the mixture around for a thin and even layer. Cook on one side for 2 minutes until lightly golden, then place on a plate and repeat until all the batter has gone.
To assemble: spread each pancake with 1-2 tbsp of the beetroot purée, crumble over goats cheese and sprinkle with the seeds and dill.
