A yummy dip I like to make as part of a mezze style feast for friends. It’s good with shop bought cooked beetroot but best with your own slow roasted from fresh. It has a richer and more toasty flavour from the fresh stuff which I like. It’s great not just as a dip but as a spread in a wrap or sandwich. I have a picture of one I made earlier with eggs below! Super delicious and nutritious 🙂

Beetroot Hummus Recipe

• 2 small Beetroot’s roasted and peeled
• Juice of 1/2 lemon
• teaspoon cumin
• 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 75g Chick peas
• 25g Walnuts toasted
• Tablespoon of Tahini
• Salt and pepper
• few spoons of water to create the consistency you prefer
• drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and chopped herbs to serve

This is a very easy dip to make! Just put all the ingredients in a food processor (apart from olive oil and herbs) and hey presto. If it is too thick add a little water to loosen and blend again. Make sure you taste it for seasoning. I like to add salt and pepper afterwards bit by bit just incase I add too much! It’s lovely with flat breads or spread on your favourite sandwich.
