Falafel with Homemade Beetroot Hummus

  • SERVINGS 2-4
  • PREPARATION 20 MINUTES

INGREDIENTS

  • 160 g boiled chickpeas
  • 130 g steamed or baked beetroot
  • 3 tbsp tahini
  • 2 ½ tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 small clove of garlic (or more depending on your preference)
  • ¾ tsp sea salt
  • ½ tsp cumin
  • 1 tbsp water or beetroot juice (if needed)
  • baby spinach
  • olive oil, vinegar and salt and pepper for the salad
  • 8-12 Falafel
  • pies for serving

COOKING INSTRUCTIONS

  1. In a large food processor, add the chickpeas, beetroot, tahini, lemon, garlic, salt and cumin. Blend until smooth. If necessary, add a little water/juice while blending to thin the hummus.

  2. We make a quick salad by mixing spinach with a little oil, vinegar, and salt and pepper.

  3. Prepare the falafel according to the package instructions and serve with hummus, salad and a few pita breads.

Tips

-The market now also sells ready-to-steam chickpeas and beets, which makes our hummus super easy and quick!
-The beetroot package usually has a little juice in it, which we can use to dilute the hummus.
