Roasted Beet Hummus with Crudites
This recipe is in honor of my amazing Armenian grandmother who recently passed away. She used to cook Armenian food all the time and one of everyone's favorite appetizer would be hummus. It was sooo authentic an amazing. I could eat it every single day.
Ingredients
- 1 can of chickpea drained and rinsed
- 2 tbsp tahini
- 1 garlic clove minced
- 2 tsp red wine vinegar
- 1/2 tsp cumin
- Juice of 1/2 lemon add more if you like more lemon. I sometime do because I like mine lemony
- 1/2 red beet roasted and peeled
- 1-2 tbsp olive oil
- dash of salt and pepper
Instructions
- In a bowl, add tahini, vinegar, garlic, cumin, lemon juice, salt and pepper and mix. Allow flavors to marinate for a few min.
- In a blender, add the garbanzo beans, beet, and tahini mixture and blend until smooth. while blender is on, add the olive oil. ***See Armenian Version for step 2 if you want my grandma's technique)
- serve with fresh veggies, crackers, or my personal favorite, on toast with avocado :)
- ***Armenian Version:*** In a sauce pan, add garbanzo beans and boil in water until soft peeling skin off it. Then add in blender first to mash it a bit. Then you would add the tahini mixture to blend until smooth)
