Background
This beetroot and feta hummus is lovely variation on the classic dip. Perfect for the winter months, served with crudites and oat cookies. Alternatively, serve it as a dressing over grilled lamb or kebab (in this case, make it a bit thinner).
Ingredients
- 3 baby pickled beetroots
- 2 cloves of garlic
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- 1 tin chickpeas (400g) or 2 cups cooked chickpeas
- 1 lemon, juiced
- 2 Tbsp tahini paste
- 1 tsp of ground cumin
- 100g barrel aged feta
- 2 Tbsp chopped parsley leaves or mint
- Salt& pepper
- 1 pinch dried oregano
Instructions
- Roughly chop the beetroot and put them in a blender or food processor.
- Add the garlic, drained chickpeas, tahini, cumin, olive oil, lemon and fresh herbs.
- Blitz together for 30 seconds.
- Cut half of the feta into small cubes, then crumble the rest into the hummus.
- Blitz again until you have a light, textured, creamy hummus. If it’s too thick, add some more lemon juice or some water.
- Taste, then season it to your liking.
- Transfer the mixture to a small bowl, then fold in the remaining feta cubes and scatter the oregano over the dish.
