Instructions
Once the beetroot has cooled down start by peeling and chopping the beetroot (just makes it easier for the processor) and add it into the food processor.
Add the garlic, chickpeas, lemon juice, salt & pepper and blend till smooth. Add the olive oil by gradually pouring into the processor as it spins. OPTIONAL: Add the reserved liquid from the chickpeas gradually (just as much as you need) to give it a creamier consistency and it also helps to keep it moist as opposed to using additional oil. Water by the teaspoon is your other option if you want it slightly thinner.
Keep chilled and serve on toast, crackers or eat with veggies or pasta.Enjoy xoxo
