Roast the whole baby beets in a medium oven over a bed of rock salt, until soft (if you are using tinned beetroot, there is no need to do this).Once cooked, remove from the oven and allow to cool. Peel the beets, the skin should come off easily.
Heat the oil in a large pan. Add the garlic and cook over a medium heat.
Add the beetroot (chopped) and carrots.
Stir in the salt and pepper, and cook until it sizzles.
Add in the orange juice, and simmer for 15 minutes.
Add the cinnamon and dill and stir through. Remove from the heat and allow the mixture to cool.
Blend the mixture and pulse until the desired texture is achieved.
