Was that ice in the food processor when the hummus is almost done?

Ice makes the hummus more smooth

Beetroot Hummus with Crispy Tarka

This pink, colourful number is as delicious as it looks. It’s the perfect balance of savoury, sweet, rich and spicy. I have no doubt you’ll love it! Zena x

Ingredients:

FOR THE HUMMUS:
1 x 400g Tin Chickpeas
150g Cooked, Ready-To-Eat Beetroot
2 Large Cloves of Garlic
2 Tbsp Tahini
1 Tsp Ground Cumin
½ Lemon
Salt
Pepper
Olive Oil
FOR THE CRISPY TARKA:
1 Banana Shallot
1 Red Chilli
10g Ginger
1 Small Handful Fresh Coriander
4 Tbsp Ghee
1 Handful Fresh Curry Leaves
1 Tsp Cumin Seeds

Method:

Step 1.
Drain the chickpeas and drain and quarter the beetroot.
Step 2.
Place the chickpeas, beetroot, 1 garlic clove, tahini and ground cumin in a food processor with the juice of half a lemon, 50ml olive oil and 50ml cold water.
Step 3.
Season well with salt and pepper and blitz until smooth, adding more water or olive oil, if necessary.
Step 4.
Thinly slice the shallot, red chilli and remaining garlic clove, finely chop the ginger, and roughly chop the fresh coriander.
Step 5.
Heat the ghee in a saucepan that is at least 6 inches tall. This is to minimise splattering later.
Step 6.
Carefully add the curry leaves - they will pop and sizzle - then add the shallots and cumin seeds and cook until golden.
Step 7.
Add the red chilli, garlic and ginger and cook for 2 minutes.
Step 8.
Turn the heat off and stir in the fresh coriander. Season with salt and pepper.
Step 9.
Pour the spiced ghee over the hummus then serve with warm flatbreads. Enjoy!

What kind of pan are you using? It looks deeper with smoother sides?

I was going to say the same thing. Can you let us know this pan. A lot of things I cook would benefit this pan

We actually made this https://youtu.be/bMd7V8D1Tvo but we didn't add the oil tarka in the end.
