Beetroot Hummus

Made with horseradish sauce, sweet tinned beetroot and ground cumin, this beetroot hummus recipe is full of flavour.

 

INGREDIENTS

1 x 450 gram tin cooked beetroot, drained
1 x 400 gram tin cooked white cannellini beans
1 clove garlic, crushed 2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons good horseradish sauce*
1 teaspoon ground cumin
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons plain yoghurt, plus extra for serving
sea salt and freshly ground pepper

METHOD

Place all the ingredients in a food processor and blend until smooth. Season.

Tip into a shallow serving dish and drizzle with a little extra yoghurt. Makes 2 cups.

* Mandy’s Horseradish is a great choice – it’s hot and pungent, just as it should be, and is available from gourmet stores.
