The title of this recipe isn’t meant to encourage a gambling addiction, but to take a risk on yourself. So much in life is a gamble, and we don’t know how things are really going to turn out. So I say, bet on it, whatever “it” is for you, a new romance, a new job, a new adventure. There’s no thrill in playing it safe all the time. So go on! Take a risk and take a bite of this simple, easy Red Beet Hummus. It’s colorful and grounding and the color would look great as a lipstick.
INGREDIENTS:
1 package of Trader Joe’s cooked red beets (no, I don’t get a ‘kick-back’ from TJ’s). Or, about five red beets boiled and cooked
1 can of Organic Garbanzo Beans - ( I like to pinch each bean to get the outside shell off. If beans give you gas, this will help alleviate it.)
1 Teaspoon of Tahini
Lemon juice or water as needed (or Olive oil)
Spices - For savory: salt, garlic, or cumin. For sweet: Honey or maple syrup
INSTRUCTIONS:
Rinse the beets
Rinse the can of garbanzo beans (take off their shells)
Put into a blender with tahini, spices, and other liquids
Mix until smooth
