Roasted Beet and Mint Hummus

SEAN M.

I had three large roasted beets and just hadn't gotten around to making a salad with them so seeing this recipe executed on TV was a godsend. Didn't have any mint so used up some dill and parsley instead. My hummus was a deep ruby red not the pink that Jeff was going for on the show so I probably had a higher proportion of beets to chickpeas, although I only used two of the three for a 28 ounce can of garbanzos. But it hardly mattered because this was some delicious and beautiful looking hummus. It basically tasted like the hummus we all know but with a little sweetness from the beets and a gorgeous jewel-like color. I chopped up half of a beet and mixed that in to give the hummus some texture. I'd stopped making hummus at home because it's such a basic recipe that's not worth the effort since certain grocery store brands can be so delicious. This recipe, however, will get me to bust out my food processor to serve this at my next gathering.
