Instructions

1. 1.
   Begin by preparing the beetroot. Use a grater to finely grate the beetroot into shreds. This will enhance its texture and allow it to cook evenly. Be careful as beetroot can stain surfaces and clothing. Set the grated beetroot aside.
2. 2.
   Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil. Once the oil is shimmering, add the grated beetroot. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it softens and releases its juices. The beetroot should become tender and slightly caramelized, giving it a rich flavor. If the pan seems too dry, add a splash of water to prevent sticking.
3. 3.
   Crumble the feta cheese over the cooked beetroot while the skillet is still on the heat. Stir gently to allow the feta to melt slightly, blending the creaminess with the earthy beetroot. Season with salt and pepper to taste, but be cautious as feta can be naturally salty.
4. 4.
   Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle the fresh dill over the mixture. The dill will add a bright, aromatic finish to the dish, bringing out the flavors of the beetroot and feta. Drizzle the lemon juice over everything to add a refreshing zing that balances the richness.
5. 5.
   Serve immediately, allowing the warmth and flavors to come together in a delightful way. If the dish seems too tangy from the lemon, adjust by adding a bit more feta or a small drizzle of olive oil.
