Ingredients:

For the beetroot hummus:

  • 1 big beetroot
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 10g tahini
  • 50g extra-virgin olive oil
  • 10g lemon juice
  • table salt, to taste

For the toast:

Method:

  1. Cover the beetroot with aluminium foil and bake in a preheated oven at a 180°C for 45–60 minutes, or until completely cooked through.
  2. Once cooked, remove the aluminium foil, deskin the beetroot and cut into big chunks. At the same time, slice the garlic and cook in simmering water until it’s completely soft.
  3. Add the cooked beetroot and garlic, tahini, olive oil, lemon juice and table salt to a blender. Blend until it turns into a completely smooth purée.
  4. Store the beetroot hummus in the fridge, to use as and when needed.
