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)

Directions

Step 1

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.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

4. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.

Step 5

5. Transfer the hummus to a serving bowl, drizzle with a little extra olive oil, and garnish with fresh parsley.

Step 6

6. Serve with fresh vegetables, pita bread, or use as a spread in sandwiches or wraps.
