Step 1

To cook the beets, cut the stems about 1 inch from the top of the beet. Rinse well. Add to a pot of boiling water, bring down to a simmer, and cook covered for 30 to 40 minutes (this will vary slightly depending on the size of the beetroot)—Spike with a fork to check that the beets are tender. Drain, and place the beetroot in a bowl of ice water. This will prevent further cooking and accelerate the cooling process. Once cool down, peel the skin using your fingers. It should come off easily.

Step 2

To a high-speed blender: add the chickpeas, beets, lemon juice, tahini, olive oil, garlic clove, salt, cumin, and ice cubes and blend until you reach a smooth consistency. Use a temper or spatula to scrap down the sides as necessary. Take some breaks if needed as to not overheat your blender.

Step 3

Place in the fridge to firm up. Once ready to eat add your favorite toppings (I used pistachios and lemon zest in the video) and enjoy!
