Preparation
A good culinary
experience encompasses all the senses. Pink hummus meets this requirement
because it is colourful, tasty, aromatic and soft on the palate. Preparing
it is simple, it has ingredients easy to find in the supermarket... For all
these reasons, this recipe is enjoyed to the full. All the elements of the dish
are vegetables and cereals, making it a great vegan option.
In addition to a rich
aperitif, beet hummus provides essential nutrients such as iron,
beta-carotene, vitamin C and folic acid. Legumes are a great food full of
complex hydrates and proteins that we should consume at least three times a
week. Beetroot is excellent for strengthening blood cells and fighting
anaemia. Smeared on pita bread, toast,
crackers or as a sandwich dressing, it's a marvel. Everyone, adults and
children, will love it!
Elaboration:
Put the lemon, tahini
or sesame, Betis olive oil and peeled, germ-free garlic in a mixing bowl,
mixing glass or food processor. Work until the garlic is completely dissolved.
Add the beetroot and
chickpeas and process until a not too fine paste is obtained. Check the salt
content and rectify if necessary.
Sprinkle sesame seeds
over the hummus and it is ready to serve. You can also add a splash of extra
virgin olive oil and a few leaves of parsley or peppermint to garnish.
