Ingredients
  

  • 200 g chickpeas cooked
  • 40 g beetroot cooked
  • 20 ml lemon juice
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp tahini
  • tsp cumin
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 50 ml water

Method
 

  1. Use cooked chickpeas. If you're using dried ones, soak them the night before and leave them on the countertop overnight. The next morning, cook them until soft. I like adding some salt and some baking soda to the pot - soda makes it even softer.
  2. You can probably buy cooked beetroot in the store. I prefer cooking it by myself. It takes about an hour of simmering to soften.
  3. Add all of the ingredients to a blender and blend until smooth. Transfer to a glass jar or plastic container and keep it in the fridge for up to one week.
  4. If you're using it right away, transfer it to a plate or a bowl. You can decorate it with a splash of olive oil and/or cumin seeds and parsley.
