Method

To make the broomsticks – Attach the mini Twiglets to the Grissini sticks with some string and then tie chives around them. The chives will be easier to tie if you put them in the microwave for a few seconds first.
To make the red rose dip – Put all of the ingredients except the milk into a food processor and season with salt and pepper. Whiz until smooth. Add 1/2 tbsp of the oil from the tomatoes and 1 tsp milk and whiz again, adding the extra teaspoon of milk if the dip is too thick. Transfer to a bowl, cover and refrigerate until needed. Serve with crudités and breadsticks for dipping.
