Ingredients

500g raw beetroot , leaves trimmed to 1 inch, but root left whole
2 x 400g cans chickpeas , drained
juice 2 lemons
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.
Pop on a pair of rubber gloves. Pull off and discard the roots, leaves/stalk and peel of the cooled beetroot. Roughly chop the flesh. Whizz the beetroot, chickpeas, lemon juice, cumin, 2 tsp salt and some pepper. Serve swirled with a little yogurt, some toasted cumin seeds, a little torn mint and some crusty bread.
