Beet Hummus*

  • 1/2 pound beets (about 4 medium-sized beets), cooked until tender (steamed, roasted, boiled)
  • 2 tablespoons (preferably raw) tahini (sesame butter)
  • 5 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 or 2 small cloves garlic, minced or pressed
  • 1 tablespoon ground cumin
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest (grated organic lemon peel)
  • pinch of sea salt
  • fresh ground pepper to taste

Place the beets, tahini, lemon juice, garlic, cumin and lemon zest in a food processor. Blend until smooth. Just before serving, grate black pepper on top (be generous!). Serve with crudités as a colorful appetizer or side dish with entrée.
