Prep time

15 mins

Ingredients

  • Cumin: 1 tbsp ground cumin
  • Chickpea: 2 x 400g cans chickpeas, drained
  • Beetroot: 500g raw beetroot, leaves trimmed to 1 inch, but root left whole
  • Lemon: juice 2 lemons

Directions

  1. Cook the beetroot in a large pan of boiling water with the lid on for 30-40 mins until tender. When they're done, a skewer or knife should go all the way in easily. Drain, then set aside to cool.
  2. Pop on a pair of rubber gloves. Pull off and discard the roots, leaves/stalk and peel of the cooled beetroot. Roughly chop the flesh. Whizz the beetroot, chickpeas, lemon juice, cumin, 2 tsp salt and some pepper. Serve swirled with a little yogurt, some toasted cumin seeds, a little torn mint and some crusty bread.
