The more beetroot you add, the pinker the colour! Simple.

300g dried chickpeas – soaked overnight and cooked until tender
2 cloves of garlic

Blitz the remaining chickpeas, 1 ½ beetroot, tahini, roasted garlic, lemon juice to taste (keep the zest), toasted cumin seeds and olive oil. Keep adding oil until you have a silky consistency and season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper
