Ingredients
- 1 jar of cooked chickpeas
- 1 large cooked beetroot
- 1 large garlic clove
- 1 tablespoon of olive oil
- 1 tablespoon of tahini
- Juice ½ lemon
- 1 teaspoon of cumin
- Salt
- Coriander and sesame seeds (for garnish)
Just like in the traditional hummus recipe, if you want to make more, increase the ingredients proportionally.
Preparation
Time required: 30 minutes.
- Peel and cook the beetroots
This will take about 20-25 minutes. This step can be done before making the recipe, since they do not need to be hot
- Open the chickpea jar, drain and reserve the water
- Add all the ingredients in the mixer glass or kitchen robot
Make sure the beetroots have cooled before adding them
- Blend all food for one minute at maximum power
- Check the salt and lemon for taste
- If it is too thick you can add a little filtered water or the reserved water.
- Serve and garnish with sesame and coriander seeds
If you do not have the time to cook the beetroots you can add them raw but make sure that they are well chopped in your kitchen robot. Otherwise, when eating the hummus the texture will not be smooth.
