Ingredients

  • 1 can (14oz/400 grams) chickpeas, drained (but reserve some of the water)
  • 7 oz (200 grams) cooked beetroots, cubed and drained
  • 2 Tablespoons tahini sauce
  • 1 lemon, zest and juice
  • 4 Tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 garlic clove, sliced
  • 1 ½ teaspoon ground cumin
  • ¾ teaspoon fine salt, or more to taste
  • ⅛ teaspoon black pepper, to taste

Garnish (optional)

  • nuts (walnuts or pine nuts)
  • Seeds (sesame seeds, chia or poppy seeds)
  • extra virgin olive oil

Instructions

  • Place all the ingredients into a food processor or in a high-speed blender.
  • Blend until smooth and ultra creamy. If it looks too thick, gradually add some of the reserved chickpea liquid or some water until the desired consistency is reached.
  • Taste and adjust the seasoning according to your own taste. You might want to add a bit more salt, pepper, or lemon juice.
  • If time allows, transfer the hummus to a container and let it rest in the fridge for about 30 minutes until the flavors blend together.
  • Serve it on a large plate or in a small serving bowl. With the back of a spoon, make a nice swirl on top. Top with chopped walnuts, seeds, and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil. Serve with crackers, pita bread, or crudités on the side.

Notes

Dried chickpeas: If you use dried chickpeas, soak them in water overnight and cook them in boiling water until they're very soft. Drain them, reserving some of the cooking liquid. You need about 1 ½ cups of chickpeas for this recipe.
