INGREDIENTS

  • 1 can of chickpeas. Drain and rinse.
  • 2 cloves fresh garlic or 2 teaspoons of store bought minced garlic.
  • 2 Tablespoons of Tahini (Hulled. Available in the supermarket)
  • A tin of beetroot, or fresh beetroot cooked
  • The juice of 1 fresh lemon
  • 2 or 3 Tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • Salt to taste. I use freshly ground salt as it’s rustic taste suits this dip.

METHOD

Place the rinsed chickpeas and the beetroot into the blender and process until combined. Add the lemon and garlic. Process a further minute. Add the tahini slowly, and process for another minute.  Then add the salt and olive oil. Process this for another minute. If you like your beetroot hummus dip a bit thinner then add a tablespoon of water. Scrape the sides down every few minutes. Garnish with some green leaves, possibly mint.
