Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium cooked beetroots
- 1 cup canned chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 1 cup canned cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
- 3 tablespoons tahini
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 2 garlic cloves
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 tablespoons water or chickpea liquid
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
1. Begin by cooking the beetroots if they are not already cooked. To do this, wash the beetroots thoroughly, place them in a pot with water, bring to a boil, and simmer for about 30-40 minutes or until tender. Allow them to cool, peel, and roughly chop.
2. In a food processor, combine the chopped beetroots, chickpeas, cannellini beans, tahini, lemon juice, garlic cloves, olive oil, cumin, coriander, salt, and black pepper.
3. Process the mixture until it becomes smooth and creamy. If the hummus is too thick, gradually add water or reserved chickpea liquid, one tablespoon at a time, until the desired consistency is reached.
4. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.
5. Transfer the hummus to a serving bowl, drizzle with a little extra olive oil, and garnish with fresh parsley.
6. Serve with fresh vegetables, pita bread, or use as a spread in sandwiches or wraps.
