This is my roasted celeriac hummus that’s so easy to make and is great for dipping chicory or lightly toasted wholemeal khobez - it’s vegan too!
What you will need:
1 small celeriac (peeled and chopped)
1 teaspoon of Ras el Hanout spice mix
1 onion
1 tin of cannellini beans or chickpeas, drained
1 tablespoon of tahini
50g coconut feta
A few saffron strands (optional)
Juice and zest of half a lemon
A good pinch of Maldon sea salt
Preserved lemon (cut into small pieces to serve)
A drizzle of mandarin or citrus olive oil
What you need to do:
Start off by roasting a small celeriac with Ras el Hanout spices, along with a white onion until tender and lightly charred.
Once cooled blitz these up along with a drained can of cannellini beans, around a dessert spoon of tahini, coconut feta, a pinch of saffron and enough extra virgin olive oil to make it lusciously smooth.
Serve up with preserved lemons and a good drizzle of Sicilian mandarin olive oil.
For dipping you could go for chicory and lightly toasted wholemeal khobez breads.
