This beet hummus by Chef Puja Sahu is a refreshing spin on the classic Middle-Eastern dip and is designed for anyone who loves colour on the plate and flavour in every bite. Chef Sahu is the founder of Potbelly, a restaurant chain that has been working towards redefining Bihari flavours and bringing them to the forefront. Her latest venture, Mission Bay, brings Californian flavours to the capital. This beet hummus is a recipe Chef Sahu swears by and might just become your favouite!
Roasted beets bring a natural sweetness and earthy depth, blending seamlessly with creamy tahini and tender garbanzo beans for a smooth, velvety texture. A hint of lime wakes up the palate, while extra virgin olive oil ties everything together with its gentle richness.
What truly elevates this hummus, though, is the garnish: salty feta, fresh parsley, and a sprinkle of dukkah spice add layers of crunch, tang, and umami. Paired with home-made crackers and crisp baby carrots, it makes for a wholesome appetiser, a standout party dip, or a satisfying mid-day snack. Whether you’re hosting, meal-prepping, or simply craving something nourishing and beautiful, this beet hummus is delicious and Instagram-worthy in equal parts.
