INGREDIENTS

Bread:

• 8 slices of wholemeal or rye bread

Beetroot hummus:

• 2 medium beets
• 1 can of chickpeas (400g), drained and rinsed
• 2 tbsp tahini
• 2 cloves of garlic
• Juice of 1 lemon
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper
• 1 teaspoon of cumin (optional)

INSTRUCTIONS

Beet preparation:

• Wash, peel and dice the beetroot. Boil in lightly salted water until tender (about 20-30 minutes), then drain and cool.

Hummus preparation:

• Place the cooked beetroot, chickpeas, tahini, garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, pepper and cumin (if using) in a blender.
• Blend until smooth. If the hummus is too thick, add some of the beetroot cooking water or more oil.

Bread preparation:

• Slices of bread can be heated in a toaster or dry frying pan to make them crisp.

Hummus spread:

• Spread a generous layer of beetroot hummus on each slice of bread. You can garnish with extra olive oil, fresh herbs or seeds.

NOTES

• Beets: You can roast the beetroot instead of boiling it for a more intense flavour.
• Tahini: If the hummus is too thick, you can add a little more tahini or lemon juice for better consistency.
• Extras: Beet hummus tastes great with the addition of fresh vegetables such as cucumber slices, tomato or radishes.
