Ingredients
- 6 oz. fresh red beets, trimmed and scrubbed
- 15 oz. can chickpeas, rinsed and drained
- 1/3 cup tahini, well mixed
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
- 1/4 cup goat cheese
- 1 garlic clove, smashed
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon ground coridander
- 1/8 teaspoon cayenne
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
Preparation
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Wrap beets tightly in parchment lined piece of foil and place on a baking sheet. Roast until the tines of a fork slide easily into the center of the beet, about 60 minutes. Let sit until cool enough to handle.
- Meanwhile, process chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice, goat cheese, garlic, salt, pepper, coriander and cayenne in a food processor until smooth.
- Using a paper towel or your fingers, rub or peel beet to remove skin(it should slip off easily and any staining to your hands will be temporary). Cut into 6 pieces; add to food processor and process until mixture is smooth, about 2 minutes. Scrap down sides. Add the olive oil as machine is running. Scrap down sides again and taste and season for salt, if needed and pulse again.
- Transfer hummus to a shallow bowl and top with fresh mint. Can be made 4 days ahead.
