Beetroot hummus party platter

Easy nibbles for a crowd - by Barbara Northwood

Beetroot hummus party platter
Prep: 15 Minutes - Easy - Serves 8
Proudly supported by

Never know what to cook when you have friends round for drinks? This beetroot hummus party platter is the answer. This one-platter-serves-all dish is suitable for vegans (if you leave out the prosciutto and mozzarella) but everyone will love it. It looks striking, is easy to put together and doesn’t require any cooking. Triple win. Oh, it’s also delicious.

Ingredients

2 x 400g can chickpeas, drained

2 x 300g pack cooked beetroot, drained

2 small garlic cloves

2 tbsp tahini

100ml extra virgin olive oil, plus a drizzle to serve

good squeeze of lemon juice

2 tbsp toasted hazelnuts, roughly chopped

2 tbsp pumpkin seeds, roughly chopped

2 tsp nigella seeds

1 tsp sumac (optional)

pinch chilli flakes (optional)

To serve (optional)

crunchy summer veg, cut into batons (we used fennel, sugar snap peas, baby heritage carrots & radishes)

bread, toasted and cut into fingers for dipping

mini mozzarella balls

olives

prosciutto-wrapped breadsticks

Method

  1. Set about 2 tbsp chickpeas aside. Tip the rest of the chickpeas, the beetroot, garlic, tahini, oil and lemon juice into a food processor with a good pinch of salt. Blend until smooth, then check the seasoning, adding a little more salt or lemon if it needs it. Chill the hummus until you’re ready to serve (will keep for up to two days).

  2. Transfer the hummus to a wide, shallow bowl or spread over  a platter. Drizzle with some oil, scatter with the reserved chickpeas, hazelnuts, seeds, sumac and chilli (if using). Arrange the veg, bread, cheese and breadsticks around the platter and let everyone dig in.
