We love hummus - plain hummus, spiced hummus, red pepper hummus, pumpkin hummus...and obviously, beetroot hummus.
This one came about when we were making a rainbow bowl for lunch and also had a craving for beetroot - we love them both, and the colour that beetroot adds to things is just incredible.
If you have the time, obviously peeling, chopping and roasting some beetroot is the right way to go. But, if you're pushed for time, some pre-cooked beetroot works absolutely perfectly - where we shop sells steamed beetroot, which has a bit of vinegar on it, but it still does the job. Anyway, here's the recipe for our beetroot hummus!
Beetroot hummus
Beetroot hummus is an easy to make dip that's perfect for game nights, served with pitta chips as a started or even as part of a falafel wrap.
