Method

Heat the oven to 190°C/170°C fan/gas 5. Toss together the diced beetroot, olive oil and some salt and black pepper in a roasting tin, cover with foil, then roast for 1 hour or until tender. Remove and leave to cool.
Put the cooked beetroot into a medium bowl with the rinsed capers and chopped fresh dill, then toss together well.
Whisk the red wine vinegar, grated horseradish, sugar and extra-virgin olive oil with salt and pepper. Stir into the beetroot, mix gently with the chopped eggs, then set aside at room temperature for 1 hour if you wish.
