Ingredients

INGREDIENTS

2 cans beets 400g, cooked
2 garlic cloves
lemon zest
1 tbsp lemon juice
½ cup tahini sauce
¼ cup olive oil
pita bread or chips
salt to taste
pepper to taste

Instructions

Mince the garlic.
Add beets, garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, tahini sauce, salt and pepper to a blender.
Pour in olive oil while blender is on.
Blend until smooth.
Serve with pita bread or chips.

Notes

Make sure to drain the canned beets very well before adding to the blender.
If your beets are whole roughly chop them before blending.
Add the olive oil slowly when the blender is on so the hummus becomes extra smooth and creamy in texture.
If your hummus is too thick then add more olive oil or a splash of water until you reach the desired consistency.
If your hummus is too thin and you prefer a chunky texture then you can add canned chickpeas or white beans such as cannellini to thicken it.
Feel free to add different spices to taste such as cumin and sumac.
You can also experiment with different ingredients such as jalapenos or cayenne pepper for a spicy kick or fresh cilantro.
I often add 3 garlic cloves to this instead of 2, if you love the spiciness of fresh garlic then I recommend trying it!
