Join Me for Merienda: End of the Year post: V,GF- Organic Kidney Bean and Beet Hummus


Well....

Yes, I need to catch up on these posts, again!

So, before 2015 is gone in my part of the world, here is a post that I promised someone that I'd write about, a few months ago. I first made this after my brother told me about a beet hummus that he had purchased at Trader Joe's and really enjoyed. I personally hadn't tried the beet hummus, but I like beets and I like hummus; so it would probably be a winner. 

After the first batch of this beet hummus that I made; I knew that it would be joining the ranks of the other hummus varieties that I make =)

I know that the deep magenta color may confuse some people (or even scare some of them), but encourage them to give it a try. Even the people who don't normally like beets may enjoy this one.

This is a super nutritious and delicious hummus and I hope that you will give it a try some day.


V, GF- Organic Kidney Bean and Beet Hummus


Ingredients:

1 Can of drained Organic Kidney Beans
About a 1/2C of steamed and peeled Beets
1 Clove of Garlic minced
1/4C Canola or any other neutral oil
1tsp of Tahini
Juice of half a Lemon
Himilayan Pink Sea salt to taste
A grind of fresh Black Pepper
On this batch, I topped it with some shelled hemp seeds and sesame seeds. Yummy!



Method:

Simply combine everything into your blending apparatus of choice (blender, nutribullet (just watch those 'max fill,' lines) food processor and blend until homogenized. It should take less than 2 minutes depending on your appliance.

You can serve it straight away or store it in an airtight container in the fridge. I would eat it within 3-5 days, but honestly it doesn't last that long in my household. Eat it with fresh cut veggies, on pita bread and crackers etc.

I wish you all a very happy new year and I hope that it will be filled with good health, wellness, love and happiness for you all. I certainly always hope for a more peaceful world and for everybody to be compassionate to one another as well as themselves.

Love,
