Chef’s tip

* To roast cut beetroot into 3cm chunks, wrap in foil and roast until tender approx. 25 minutes.

Do you find that when you make houmous you have way too much? This recipe will give you just the right amount. Don’t like waste – neither do I - use the remaining chickpeas in Mummy and Daddy’s dinner – delicious in an omelette, stew, curry or roasted as a snack…
