1. Start by roasting the beets. Peel and cut the beets into large quarter then place on a sheet of foil. Cut the butter and disperse over the beets. Wrap the foil to make a handle that is tight. Then roast the beets until they are tender – this takes about 30 minutes.
2. While the beets are roasting, combine the remaining ingredients in a food processor or blend. Blend until you reach a smooth consistency.
3. Adjust the lemon juice, garlic and tahini to your preference. You may need more olive oil if you like a smoother hummus.
4. Once the beets are done, let them cool slightly. Then blend the beets into the hummus. Chefs Tip * If you are using a blender you may find it easier to puree the beets first then blend with hummus.
5. Dress the hummus with olive oil, and serve with fresh vegetables and bread.
