Ingredients

• 1 cup Cooked beets, peeled and chopped
• 1 cup Canned chickpeas, rinsed and drained
• 2 tablespoons Tahini
• 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
• 1 large Garlic clove
• 2 tablespoons Extra-virgin olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground coriander
• 0.5 teaspoon Sea salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Cold water
• 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Prepare the beets by peeling and chopping them into small pieces. If using fresh beets, boil them until tender for approximately 30-40 minutes, then peel and chop. If using pre-cooked beets from a package, simply peel and chop.

Step 2

In a food processor, combine the chopped beets, chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice, garlic, olive oil, cumin, coriander, salt, and pepper.

Step 3

Process on high until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Pause to scrape down the sides as needed to ensure all ingredients are well incorporated.

Step 4

Gradually add cold water, one tablespoon at a time, and continue processing until achieving the desired consistency.

Step 5

Taste the hummus and adjust the seasoning with additional salt, pepper, or lemon juice if preferred.

Step 6

Transfer the hummus to a serving bowl and garnish with fresh chopped parsley.

Step 7

Serve immediately with fresh vegetables, whole-grain crackers, or pita bread. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
