Ingredients
1 large cooked beetroot
1 cup cooked chickpeas
2 cloves garlic
½ a lime
¾ tsp salt
¼ cup iced water
½ tsp white sesame seeds
Lettuce leaves
Crackers or pita chips
Method
1To prepare the hummus, peel and chop the beetroot roughly.
2In a blender, combine the chopped beetroot along with cooked chickpeas, garlic, lime juice, salt, and iced water. Blend to a smooth puree. Remove to a bowl and top with sesame seeds.
3To serve, lay out lettuce leaves on a platter. Top with beet hummus, small pieces of crackers, sesame seeds and serve as a lettuce wrap. Else, serve the hummus on a lettuce leaf with crackers or pita chips on the side
4Pro-tip: Prepare this with any other roasted vegetable such as red bell pepper. Peel and deseed it before blending with chickpeas. Roasted eggplant can also be used similarly.
