500g raw beetroot , leaves trimmed to 1 inch, but root left whole
2 x 400g cans chickpeas , drained

1 tbsp ground cumin
yogurt, toasted cumin seeds, mint and crusty bread, to serve

Steps:

  • Cook the beetroot in a large pan of boiling water with the lid on for 30-40 mins until tender. When they're done, a skewer or knife should go all the way in easily. Drain, then set aside to cool.
