Blazing Beetroot Hummus

Good afternoon everyone! With Autumn comes root vegetable season. And what is better than a Blazing Beetroot Hummus? Not only does Beetroot have super healthy benefits for your liver and blod, but this Hummus has such a wonderful hot pink color that will make you want to eat it non stop.

I used 2 large beetroots to this portion. I cooked the beetroots until tender with the peel on, and afterwards I poured ice-cold water over them which made it quite easy to peel them.

Here´s the recipe and how I did it step by step

Ingredients:

• 2 large beetroots – cooked and peeled
• 1 can/250g organic chickpeas
• 2 tablespoons tahini
• 1 small clove of garlic
• juice of 1/5 lemon
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 2 tablespoons cold-pressed olive oil

Step by step:

cook the beetroots until tender (it takes about an hour) peel them and cut them in quarters.

Let them cool off completely

place all the ingredients in a bowl and blend them till smooth or your desired texture with a hand blender, or if you have a food processor I would recommend using that.

Before serving it sprinkle a little fresh parsley and a little extra olive oil over it and serve it with a piece og good rustic bread, with vegetables or on a salad.

Enjoy !
