Ingredients
- 1 19-ounce (511 g) can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 1 medium golden beet, roasted, peeled, and chopped
- 1/4 cup (60 ml) lemon juice
- 4 garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons (30 ml) tahini
- 2 tablespoons (30 ml) ice water
- 1/2 teaspoon (2.5 ml) ground turmeric
- Salt
- Pomegranate seeds, to garnish
- Olive oil, to drizzle
- Warm pita or pita chips, to dip
Directions
- Place the chickpeas in a blender and puree to a thick paste,
- Add the beets to the blender and puree again at maximum speed until very smooth. The mixture will be thick and pasty at this point, so you will need to allow the blender to run for a full minute or more.
- Add the lemon juice, garlic, and tahini to the blender and puree again at the highest speed for a full minute.
- As the blender is running, slowly drizzle in ice water, stopping when the hummus has reached the desired thickness.
- Add the turmeric, season with salt, and continue to run the blender for about a full minute.
- Transfer the hummus to a serving bowl, garnish with pomegranate seeds, drizzle with olive oil and serve immediately, alongside warm pitas or pita chips. Enjoy!
