Beetroot hummus with toast

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Vegetarian & Vegan Quick Meals Starters
The classic earthy profile of hummus gets a vibrant twist with the sweetness and stunning colour of beetroot. This isn't just a dip; it's a visual feast. The slight bitterness of tahini (sesame paste) creates a perfect balance with the natural sugars of the beetroot.

⚠️ Sesame
⚠️ Gluten (bread)

Instructions

1 ✓

Place the chickpeas, beetroot, tahini, garlic, and lemon juice into a food processor. Start blending.

Tip: For an incredibly smooth cream, peel the skins off the chickpeas (time-consuming, but worth it).
2 ✓

While the machine is running, drizzle in the olive oil. If it's too thick, add a splash of water or the chickpea liquid (aquafaba).

Tip: Adding the oil slowly creates a creamy emulsion with the water content of the vegetables.
3 ✓

Taste and season with salt or more spices if needed.

Tip: Due to the sweetness of the beetroot, it might require more salt or lemon than plain hummus.
4 ✓

Serve with toast, sprinkled with sesame seeds.
