Ingredients
Hummus
400g tin chickpeas, drained and rinsed
300g pack cooked beetroot
1 garlic clove
1 tbsp tahini
50ml olive oil
lemon juice
Toppings (optional, use whatever you like!)
1 tbsp toasted hazelnuts, roughly chopped
1 tbsp pumpkin seeds, roughly chopped
1 tsp nigella seeds
1/2 tsp sumac
pinch chilli flakes
Method
- Set aside 1 tbsp of chickpeas. Then blend everything else - other than the toppings - in a food processor until smooth, with a pinch of salt. Add a little more salt or lemon if it needs it.
- Chill the hummus until you want to serve it, then top it with a drizzle of olive oil, the remaining chickpeas, and your toppings!
- Serve with whatever you like - we recommend carrot or cucumber sticks, warm toasted bread (especially Turkish or pita bread), or falafel!
