I know Hummus is made from cooked, mashed chickpeas blended with tahini, olive oil, lemon juice, salt and garlic. And I know it the term has been bastardized in the US for all sorts of veg. spreads. Sometimes, ya gotta go with the flow… It’s worth it!
Bright Red Beet Hummus
1 pound cooked beets (I roast mine), quartered
1/4 cup walnuts, toasted and roughly chopped
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1/2 tablespoon tahini
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1 garlic clove
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
Place all the ingredients in a food processor and blend until smooth, stopping occasionally to scrape down the sides. Taste throughout and adjust the balance as you see fit. Serve immediately or refrigerate, covered.
