Beetroot hummus

Recipes Starters Salads
Hummus is a wonder in itself, but paired with beetroot gets an earthy, sweet dimension, not to mention vibrant purple colour. Secret is 'ice cold water' technique, turning tahini (sesame paste) and oil into light mousse emulsion, not heavy greasy cream.

Instructions

1 ✓

Rinse chickpeas, cube beetroot.

Tip: If you have patience, peel chickpea skins with fingers – makes cream truly silky.
2 ✓

Put tahini and lemon juice in machine, run 1 minute until light and fluffy.

Tip: This pre-mixing helps sesame paste not clump later.
3 ✓

Add garlic, oil, cumin, salt, beetroot, and chickpeas. Blend until creamy.

Tip: Chunky at first, be patient.
4 ✓

With motor running slowly drizzle in ice cold water.

Tip: Cold water helps fats emulsify, making texture lighter and fluffier.
5 ✓

Serve drizzled with olive oil, sprinkled with parsley.

Tip: Green parsley and purple cream contrast is spectacular.

Recipe FAQ

Why bitter?
