Ingredients
For the Beetroot Hummus
For the Canapés
- 2 Cucumber medium-sized
- 1 tbsp Sesame Seeds white
- 1.5 Raisins
- 1.5 Cashews roughly chopped
- 1.5 leaves Mint for garnish, fresh
Instructions
Roast the Beetroot
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash and scrub a medium beetroot, then wrap it tightly in foil. Roast for 45-60 minutes, or until tender when pierced with a fork. Let cool completely before peeling and quartering.
Prepare the Beetroot Hummus
- Add the quartered beetroot to a food processor or blender. Pulse until finely chopped.
- Add cooked chickpeas, lemon zest, lemon juice, garlic, salt, pepper, and olive oil. Blend until completely smooth, adding a tablespoon or two of water at a time if needed to reach desired consistency.
- Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
Assemble the Canapés
- Slice the cucumbers into 1/2-inch thick rounds.
- Top each cucumber round with a generous spoonful of beetroot hummus.
- Garnish each canapé with a sprinkle of sesame seeds, a few raisins, some chopped cashews, and a fresh mint leaf.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for Perfect Beetroot Hummus Canapés
- For extra flavor, roast the beetroot with a drizzle of olive oil and a sprig of rosemary before blending.
- If you don't have fresh mint, you can substitute with chopped parsley or cilantro.
- To make these canapés ahead of time, prepare the hummus and cucumber slices separately. Assemble just before serving to prevent the cucumbers from becoming soggy.
- Feel free to experiment with other toppings! Toasted pine nuts, crumbled feta cheese, or a sprinkle of paprika would all be delicious additions.
