Servings: 4 people
- 2 whole beetroots washed and leaves removed
- 400 gram canned chickpeas drained
- 2 tbsp black tahini
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 lemon zest + juice
- 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds
- 1 tbsp toasted pinenuts
Cut the beetroots up into 3-4 larger pieces with the skin on and place them into a small roasting dish and roast them for an hour and a half on 170 Celsius in the pre-heated oven. When they are ready take them out and let them cool down. Then chop them up into smaller pieces.
Add every ingredient to the food processor and pulse until it's smooth.
You can have it as smooth or a little bit chunkier as you like it.
Sprinkle with the sesame seeds and the pine nuts - you can also garnish with a bit of more olive oil and chopped parsley. I like it cold, so I put it into the fridge before serving it with warm pita bread. Enjoy.
