Easy beetroot hummus
Description
Easy beetroot hummus is made by blending cooked beetroot, chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice, garlic, cumin, salt, and pepper into a coarse paste that gains creaminess with olive oil. The beetroot introduces an earthy sweetness and vivid pink hue that distinguishes it from classic hummus. The addition of cumin and lemon juice provides a gentle warmth and brightness. The preparation involves pulsing ingredients in a food processor to achieve a consistency that holds some texture but is creamy enough for spreading or dipping.
The resulting hummus offers a smooth yet slightly rustic texture, making it versatile to serve with warm pitas, crunchy crackers, or fresh crusty bread. Its balanced seasoning and natural sweetness make it appealing for snacking or as part of a mezze platter.

- 250 gram beetroot cooked
- 240 gram chickpeas canned
- 30 millilitre lemon juice freshly squeezed. Equivalent to about one lemon's juice
