Serves four
Houmous Ingredients
- 400g can chickpeas, washed and drained
- 6 black garlic cloves - made into a paste by using the side of a chopping knife
- 50ml olive oil
- 2 tbsp tahini paste
- Water
- Salt to taste
Houmous Method
- Place the drained chickpeas into a blender, add the black garlic paste and tahini.
- Pulse until you have a smooth puree, add the olive oil and then water a bit at a time, until you have a thick creamy houmous. Check for seasoning.
Candied Orange Ingredients
- 4 small oranges (blood orange if available)
- 100ml water
- 100g castor sugar
Candied Orange Method
- Peel the oranges with a peel and cut the zest into fine strips. Place into a small saucepan with the sugar and water. Place onto the heat and bring to a boil.
- Simmer until the liquid has reduced to a thick syrup. Remove from the heat. Cutaway the remaining pith from the oranges and slice the oranges into four crossways.
Beetroot Ingredients
- 1kg mixed heritage beets - washed and dried
- 50ml sunflower oil
- 25g thyme sprigs
- 250g mixed leaves
- 50ml olive oil
- 10ml sherry vinegar
- 50g of roasted hazelnuts
- Sea salt
Method
- Place the beets into a bowl and toss in the sunflower oil and season, with salt and thyme sprigs.
- Place them into a roasting dish and cover with foil. Bake in preheated oven (180°C) for 20 minutes before checking by piercing with a small knife.
- Return to the oven for a further 20 minutes and check again. Repeat until the beets are tender and the knife easily pierces the flesh all the way through (up to an hour).
- When cooked, allow to cool for 20 minutes before peeling and rubbing away the outer skin.
