Servings: 4 -5 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked chickpeas skins removed
- 1 small roasted or steamed beet about the size of 1 and a half golf balls, more if you'd like a richer colour and flavour
- 3-4 cloves garlic raw or roasted
- 4-5 tablespoons tahini more as desired
- iced water as needed
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp salt
- optional but recommended
- 2 tablespoons unsweetend non-dairy yogurt
- pinch of paprika
- 1/2 tsp cumin
Instructions
- Add chickpeas and lemon juice to your food processor, and begin to purée until fairly smooth. Next add your beets and garlic and purée again until smooth.
- Next add tahini and non-dairy yogurt if using and you guessed it--purée again until completely smooth, this time giving your food processor 2-3 minutes to blend.
- If you'd like to adjust texture, you can add in cold water by the tablespoon, purée-ing every time you add to the mixture.
- Once you're happy with the texture, add salt, purée to distribute, and any additional spices.
