Ingredients
- 4 medium beetroot
- 1 red onion
- ½ butternut squash
- 1 carrot
- 2 Tbsp olive oil
- For the sauce:
- 500 ml passata
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp oregano
- Chilli flake, optional
- 1 handful of coriander leaves
- 1 tsp apple cider vinegar or lime juice
- 300 ml vegetable stock
- Salt and pepper
- 1 tin of chickpeas
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 190°C.
- Peel the beetroot, carrot and squash then cut them into bite-sized chunk. Peel then thickly slice the onion. Scatter them in a roasting dish.
- Pour over the oil, season with salt and pepper, then toss well and roast for 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, mix the passata with the minced garlic, paprika, cumin and oregano. Add a couple of pinches of chilli flakes, if you’d like it a bit spicy.
- After 20 minutes of roasting, take the tin out of the oven and toss the vegetables. Pour over the passata mixture and toss again.
- Roast for another ten minutes, then take it out of the oven and let it cool a bit.
- Transfer the whole content of the tin into a saucepan and add the coriander leaves. Using a hand-held blender, process the mixture into a smooth, silky sauce.
- Turn the heat on and add enough stock to make a thick soup.
- Drain the chickpeas and add to the soup.
- Simmer for 5 minutes, then stir in the vinegar or lime juice.
- Serve warm.
