1. Preheat the grill. Whiz the beetroot in a processor or blender with the horseradish sauce and crème fraîche until smooth. Season well, then chill. Briefly toast the blinis under the grill on both sides and leave to cool.

2. Top each blini with a little of the beetroot mixture. Add a prawn, a sprig of dill and a little lemon zest and freshly ground pepper to each one.
